You’re so wonderful at keeping us all updated on these things, just make sure you’re taking care of yourself too :)

This episode immediately brought me back to my comment on your reaction to Season 2 Episode 5. I honestly can’t believe how similar my situation is to Issac’s. Aroace in a friend group where everyone is paired off to someone else in the friend group. I feel for him as it’s a problem that never truly goes away, just something you have to learn to manage. Curious to see how this will play out though cuz I can feel the resentment brewing.

What a great reaction to this episode. I especially like your take on Charlie's parents, together and individually. There is never a right way to parent, just a decision to be made as you learn about these individuals in your care, about how you're both going to parent. In Charlie and Tori's parents' case, it seems that they've decided to present a united front, with one never undermining the other in front of the children. Because then either parent can be seen as incompetent in the eyes of the children. In my opinion that can lead to children feeling ganged up on and not being able to confide in either parent. It's complicated because in families we also learn how to manipulate each other's feelings to benefit ourselves, either consciously or unconsciously. In season one, we saw that Charlie's dad was very in tune with Charlie's moods and gave support equal to what Tori has done so far in the show. However, even when he disagreed with his wife in season two, he stepped back and let her ideas take over. That could be because of his understanding of the person his wife is and the support that she requires from him in order to be a successful parent. But then you have the situation where Charlie lies to both of them and withholds important information even when both of them ask him what is wrong. (I think they're aware of some of the bullying that happened to him when he was outed at school but not the extent of it and they definitely don't know that he was in an abusive relationship at just 14). Trust is a fragile thing, and re-earning your child's trust as they change and grow is a tricky thing. As a parent you can always be trying, but it can also truly never be good enough. You're expected to be better because you're an adult but parents are humans too and are learning as they go. Unfortunately the learning curve that parents go on directly affects children's sense of self and well-being. It's why it is so terrifying being a parent. You will never be able to be objective enough to navigate your child’s needs. Your emotions and own upbringing will always be a part of it - and you will pass that generational circumstance to your kids. The best you can do is love them and help them feel safe in the home you make for them. Also, you can hope that one day you encounter a professional like Aunt Diane who can give you the tools you need to communicate best with each individual child!

You are the first reactor I have seen react semi-negatively to tori snooping on his computer and text nick and this is one of the very few times I have to disagree with your thoughts. Tori has been very worried and noticed so many red flags in the little looks we see her give in these last two episodes alone. When she walked in and saw him react so viscerally with a computer slam and she saw an opportunity, she had too. Privacy is so important and yes there is that tiny risk of him losing trust but at this point that doesn't matter at all. Charlie's safety is the only concern and she did the best thing because now she finally has an actual idea of what might be going on. She knows he is already isolating from her, knows his relationship with their parents are extremely tense, so she reaches outto the only person she trusts that gives charlie constant support and love. I agree that she should absolutely not tell their parents on her own as that would possibly destroy their relationship instead of lightly damaging it. Also, yes Charlie and Nick's relationship is a little bit unhealthy in the codependent area and charlie should not be putting his happiness in another person and it is something they will need to work on but honestly I am not sure if Nick being gone is what made Charlie worsen and withdraw to a really bad point. Even in the first episode Nick noticed and mentioned that he thought things had been getting progessively worse recently and was getting to the point of being really worried. I certainy don't think Nick being away helped Charlie's spiral but I honestly don't think it was the catalyst. Can't wait for you to see more!!

Harry Allen

Oh don't get me wrong, I think her looking is kind of needed at this stage as he isn't communicating at all with how bad he's doing so what else can she do. I just get really worried with stuff like this cause depending on what she does with the info, it could cause him to spiral. Texting Nick so they're on the same page with how much Charlie is struggling was a great idea though

Braeden

That is totally fair, now that i've though of it more I remembered on my first watch i actually was very shocked she went for it. I kind of forgot that shock as soon as I saw what she found and have focused on that ever since.

It’s funny that you mention Nick’s maths result — remember in season 2 when Nick had an anxiety spiral during an exam? That was his maths exam, and now we see that while he did pass, it did end up being his worst score. The attention to detail in this show is great
