As a spoby stan, I cannot say that a part of me wasn’t happy during that sex scene (we’d been waiting for that for 84 years). But watching that felt bittersweet. Spencer and Toby hooking so shortly after Yvonne’s death was wrong and the way the scene was built made it even worse (seriously, they don’t even talk about it, Spencer just leads to the kiss not considering the fact that Toby just lost his wife).
But I tried to see that scene from a different point of view, where Spencer and Toby aren’t so horrible human beings. Spencer has been my favorite character since I started watching the show and Spoby is my favorite pair. And the only way I found to make it seem a little less worse was thinking about their reasons (especially Spencer’s).
First of all, I’d like to point out that I think that was really Spencer during the scene, not her twin (although I believe Twincer is a thing).
So, I remember how proud we were of Spoby during 6x20, when Haleb and Ezria got together with both Caleb and Aria cheating their partners. Spoby acted like true friends and respected their relationships. It feels hard to believe that this is the same couple that hooked up only weeks after Yvonne died.
But watching the first Spoby scene of 7x18, we can see how awkward Spencer felt when Toby invited her to the cabin. Then, why did she change her mind later?
I guess she thought she was going to be arrested the next day. And after the game and threats, finding out that Mary was her mother, being shot, Aria’s betrayal, her parents divorce, Veronica giving up her dream (I suppose Spencer feels a little bit guilty for that), being involved in a MURDER AND BURYING A BODY, the girl is a mess. All that she wanted as a little bit of happiness before whatever is going to happen. At least for me, the last episodes made very clear thar she still had feelings for Toby.
About Toby, I can’t really understand why he did that. Few episodes ago he was marrying Yvonne in the hospital cause he didn’t want to wait for that anymore. I suppose that, deep down, he never stopped loving Spencer, and being around her made those feelings return. Maybe being with her was his way to make the pain a little less worse, in a very peculiar way.
