IF I RELL RRECTLY, RILEY WAS CLOSE IENDS WH ETHAN AND NOAH AND DOUG WAS THE DG ALG LOWLIFE WHO MOVED TO NOAH’S APARTMENT. DOUG AND RILEY'S CLOSE BOND WAS AN OFF MERA CREATN OF THE WRER, SO THEIR SUPPOSED IENDSHIP NEVER RANG TE TO ME.

ALLY AND RILEY WERE NOT IENDS AND I DON’T THK THEY EVER HAD MUCH TO DO WH EACH OTHER. THERE WAS NO REASON FOR HIM TO BE THERE OTHER THAN TO STIR THGS UP WH STE, WHEN THERE WERE OTHER WAYS TO ACPLISH THAT. AND NATURALLY, I DIDN'T LIKE WHAT FOLLOWED {BOX-SIZG:BORR-BOX;PADDG:24PX 0;} A{LOR:#354A4E;-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;} A:HOVER, A:FOC{-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:NONE;TEXT-RATN:NONE;} B, STRONG{FONT-WEIGHT:700;}{BOX-SIZG:BORR-BOX;PADDG:24PX 0;} A{LOR:#354A4E;-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;} A:HOVER, A:FOC{-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:NONE;TEXT-RATN:NONE;} B, STRONG{FONT-WEIGHT:700;}DOUG LLG STE’S MOM MAK LTLE SENSE TO ME.

IF THE SHOW WANTS TO TELL STE HASN’T CHANGED AND STROY WHAT’S LEFT OF THE CHARACTER THEY’VE WORKED SO HARD TO OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS, THEN OKAY. BUT HOW ABOUT SOME BUILD UP?

OR DID THE SHOW FET THAT STE WENT TO UNSELG AND ANGER MANAGEMENT ALG WH HIS ISSU? PERSONALLY, WHY STE DID ACTUALLY MATTERS LTLE. I THK DOUG NEEDS TO PACK HIS THGS AND WALK.

AND I TELL YOU, I WANT OFF BRENDAN’S MISERY TRA. EVERYTHG IS ABOUT HOW HE SUFFERS, HOW HE HURTS, HOW HE N’T FIVE HIMSELF FOR THE PAST. THE QUTN IS, WHAT EXACTLY IS BRENDAN UNABLE TO FIVE HIMSELF FOR? THE DG ALG, BEATG UP ALL HIS PREV BOYIENDS, MURRG DANNY, MURRG HIS GRANDMOTHER, HIS ROLE RILEY’S ATH? I KNOW ONE THG FOR SURE, A FEW CHATS WH A WISE PRIT DO NOT MAKE UP FOR ALL THAT, NO MATTER HOW MUCH THE SHOW WANTS ME TO TELL {BOX-SIZG:BORR-BOX;PADDG:24PX 0;} A{LOR:#354A4E;-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;} A:HOVER, A:FOC{-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:NONE;TEXT-RATN:NONE;} B, STRONG{FONT-WEIGHT:700;}AND I DON’T LIKE DOUG GOG TO THE POLICE ABOUT BRENDAN. IT’S NOT THAT BRENDAN DON’T SERVE JAIL TIME FOR WHAT HE’S DONE, ’S THE “WHY” BEHD THE SHOW DOG . THEY WANT TO VILIFY DOUG AND MAKE BRENDAN THE SYMPATHETIC FIGURE. WE’RE SUPPOSED TO FEEL SORRY FOR BRENDAN, EVEN IF HE MIGHT BE GUILTY OF WHATEVER DOUG GETS EVINCE OF. AND WELL, SOMEONE HAS TO BE THE BAD GUY THIS STORY TO RNE BRENDAN AND STE, RATHER THAN SHOW BRENDAN ACTUALLY GOG THROUGH TE GROWTH AND CHANGE AND REPENTG OVER HIS NUMERO {BOX-SIZG:BORR-BOX;PADDG:24PX 0;} A{LOR:#354A4E;-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;} A:HOVER, A:FOC{-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:NONE;TEXT-RATN:NONE;} B, STRONG{FONT-WEIGHT:700;}{BOX-SIZG:BORR-BOX;PADDG:24PX 0;} A{LOR:#354A4E;-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;} A:HOVER, A:FOC{-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:NONE;TEXT-RATN:NONE;} B, STRONG{FONT-WEIGHT:700;}ONE LAST THG, AND THIS MIGHT BE AN ODD THG FOR ME TO SAY, BUT I THOUGHT THE SCENE BETWEEN STE AND BRENDAN WHERE THEY DISCSED THEIR PAST WAS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIC. THE WRG WAS SPOT ON AND THERE WERE THGS THAT NEED TO BE SAID BETWEEN THIS UPLE THAT FALLY WERE. AND THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN EMMETT SNLAN AND KEIRON RICHARDSON WAS ELECTRIC AS ALWAYS. AS MUCH AS I LIKE DOUG AND I THK PJ BRENNAN AND RICHARDSON ARE SWEET TOGETHER AND STE AND DOUG MH VERY WELL, SIMPLY N’T PARE TO WHAT STE AND BRENDAN HAVE.
