Loved seeing more of Tucker and Elliot and see how far their relationship has gone. The fsmily dynamic and learning more about them all was awesome. Learning about Roland and seeing how much he cared about Elliot and him leaving to keep Elliot safe was both saddening and heart warming. The arguments between Elliot and Tucker and the tender moments were the moments I looked forward to. It showcased that no relationship was perfect and was something I liked.

Roland could have handled things better, but again it feels reasonable when I consider his past. ...more
