“Why’d you bring me here, Kane?”
In one sense, it had to be here (or somewhere like this) all of their big moments have happened when they're away from everybody (the woods, the abandoned cabin, the dock, the empty trailer, the beach) but the most important moments of growth and reflection have always been by the water (or Maddox drank water the one time) and even more so under the moonlight. Every time they grow more certain - here they've finally admitted everything and decided to enter into an exclusive relationship - a huge step! - but they're also laid out ground rules and have been totally honest. They have come together as one unit, and now they can work together as a team to solve the problem terrorizing their community - they couldn't have done that before, because they weren't ready for multiple reasons, but those reasons have finally been washed away. There's more to worry about, but it's all external and no longer between them (for now) - they've gone as far as they can apart. Everything that rises must converge.
Of course they also had to come here because it's the one dream that Devon shared with Maddox, and now Maddox is helping it come true - more proof that they are a team who can work together.
