So I'm on mobile right now because I'm on vacation, but I watched tonight's episode and can I just say that I am SO GLAD you were right about Gabe?? I was so worried they were going to pull something out of nowhere, but they didn't, and I am so grateful. Also, did Gabe say Ana was the one who called him about Jesus?
I’m really pretty pleased about that whole storyline (and not just because I was right lol). It makes sense for his character, it involves serious issues (both depression itself and the stigma that men face when talking about their feelings) but not in a forced look-how-edgy-we-are kind of way, and it grew organically from his previous plotline. This is exactly the kind of writing I want to see.
I caught that Ana mention, too! I wish she had come to the hospital--after all, Mike did--but maybe she would have felt like she was overstepping. I wish we could see more of Jesus interacting with Ana/Mariana interacting with Gabe because I feel like the only time either twin shows any interest in their different-gender birth parent is when they’re acting on behalf of their sibling (i.e. Jesus getting Ana into the shelter because Mariana wanted to help her/Mariana yelling at Gabe for getting Jesus hurt).
I hope you’re having an awesome vacation!
