Slow burn. But riveting. I love the character development of Seth, Caleb, Max, Geraldine, and Xavier. I am so thankful that Tory is having a comeback! She is honoring who she is but also accepting a new version of herself as she finally accepts Darius. Seeing the more vulnerable sides of Lance and Darcy is a good development as well. It’s enjoyable to see that Lionel cannot be easily defeated and that there is no promise that he will be.

This ending is more gentle than the others which I am thankful for.
