Would rather be in the Grey Gull

There's the thing in Audrey Parker's Day Off where she checks Nathan's coffee for him.

There a moment in ... the wendigo episode I think, at the beginning, when she asks Nathan if he's ok after his breakup and she talks about how she's not sleeping and she's sipping a massive cup of coffee at the time.

There's a moment in one of the episodes with Jess where Nathan brings Jess coffee for breakfast but then I think goes on to see Audrey and has some for her too.

Nathan brings her coffee towards the beginning of Countdown

There's also a moment when they're in the office in the station and there's some joke about proper coffee being black coffee - when she gives him a high five and he feels it but he hasn't told her he can feel her yet? I think? I can't think what episode it is.

Upon rewatch, I am still horrified with how they conducted this plotline.

Firstly, that was not a situation where Duke had to die. There are so many times in the series where Audrey tapped into powers that she didn’t know she had in order to save Nathan. It’s literally the whole plot line of her controlling the aether. They could’ve done some weird maneuvering, plot armor thing to make it work out.

Secondly even if it was a situation where Duke had to die, they do so many things where they bring people back to life, and they fight against the circumstances that are against them then it makes no sense for this death to be permanent. Hell, the very next episode, Nathan dies and is then brought back to life. It makes no sense that there was no way at all for Duke Crocker to be alive again.

Thirdly, even if they were going to kill Duke for the situation, even if they were going to make it so his death was permanent, to then have Audrey come back as Paige without her memories of him is a slap in the face. Especially because, from the little conversation we have at the end, it appears this was a choice that she made. It wasn’t that this was the only way for her to be back, which would have made it somewhat acceptable. It was that she chose to be a whole new person, “ so she could fall in love with Nathan again” even though it meant, forgetting all the people she cared for who risked their lives for her- including Duke.

And, yeah, that’s a long list of people to remember. But from the beginning, it’s been Nathan, Duke, and Audrey. The three of them against the world. Against everything that goes bump in the night. So forgetting him? Way bigger deal than what they made it out to be.

Lastly, even if they had to kill off Duke, make it permanent, and do the thing where Audrey becomes Paige and doesn’t remember anyone, they couldn’t have done something for Duke. Hell, I would have taken another little ghost vision of Duke, like the ones Dwight had took him to him to Nathan and helped him keep his daughter. Or even a slight mention of him from the two of them- maybe James’s middle name is Duke. Maybe Paige also has a dog named Duke. Maybe, she’s there to buy a boat from a man named Duke. Who the hell knows. But the fact that the only person who brought him up is Gloria? Blasphemy.

Oh hell yes.

That's wonderful! And it could have been just that, a passing line from Paige, and Nathan would have blinked in surprise and perhaps hope, and we could all have believed that Duke (or some version of him) had also landed back in Haven the same way Paige did. After all he had also been in the Barn. It spit them both out before, it could have done so again.

I’m talking give me something beyond friendship. I’m talking Corey and Raven with Kayli.

Rest in peace, Tony. You were the best librarian, vampire hunter, and surrogate father to the Scooby Gang there ever could've been.
