expanding a bit more but like everyone def assumed benson was more than a friend to randy cause what else could it mean when a man randys probably never mentioned to anyone shows up and is leading him around grabbing at him and being just possessive and standoffish
especially lisa randy didnt show any interest in dating her they probably did little more than pecks and then he shows up asking where he went wrong with a man who is giving you the look that he is his but its the early 2000s and that is taboo especially in a small southern town so you dont ask randy just make a small comment and randy is clearly hiding something and doesnt wanna bring that much attention to him and then drags him out of the store when he gets angry you guys are actually fixing things
you have the secretary at the school I mean benson is again all over him is charming and talking about them moving away together when its clear randy is def younger than him is nervous and this man is helping right wrongs before they are gone sounding like forever like they are running from a disapproving family but it makes sense no that randy boy somethings always been off about him ontop of the eye thing
and miss beard who picks up on something going on between them but doesnt push it simply asking if benson is usually quiet which randy says no so to her it sounds like randy is around and knows this man well enough to know how he is but maybe they had a fight so she stays out of it doesnt ask how they meet or anything else because shes been around kids has her own can tell randy is already stressed and upset about the eye thing as they talk so she ignores the elephant in the room that is the strange man randy has around him cause its only when shes being held at gunpoint does she think she read the entire situation wrong but staying with them it's clear there is something .... especially at the diner.
