“When he broke free to be with Psyche, I considered that a huge step forward for his character.” On the way to the airport, Alex had told Lauren entirely too much about the final season, but she didn’t want to spoil her friend’s future viewing experience. “So . . .” she said carefully, “if, for instance, the final season showed Cupid abandoning Psyche and assisting his mother and grandfather instead—” “It would send a definite message that survivors of abuse can’t ever truly escape their abusers or form new, healthy relationships.”
