ok well. that actually made me like alec a lot better lmao
clearly he doesn't feel much of anything for taylor, but i do appreciate that he went out of his way to make things right for her, and taylor would never even know about the extent of it (i'm assuming he's not planning to let the rest know)
i also like that he definitely did this 80% for laughs and kicks and only 20% for the sake of actual retribution. i don't need him to be a good boy, i just need him to be interesting. in that sense, i would've still liked him if he ended up killing her, because it still would've made him more fun to read about (he's a villain after all), but i very much prefer that this was all an elaborate charade to get sophia to do what the rest of the gang agreed on from the start and not his "going rogue" moment
