We see this a little bit when she waits while Shane's 'freaking out' to see how Ilya will handle it.

She likes that Shane has another person in his life that can support him - one that he is probably much more receptive to than his mom and dad. Yuna knows about that first hand - it was so much easier to let David bare some of her burden than her parents. And vice versa.

So Yuna has no problem stepping back and allowing Ilya to be Shane's main support person.

Yuna: Hi honey! Just saw the game. Is Shane okay? Ilya: He is okay. Very grumpy though so maybe no phone calls tonight.

Yuna loves that Shane has such a wonderful, understanding partner to lean on. It's really all a parent wants, to know that their child will be taken care of. And Yuna is very confident Ilya will take care of her Shane.

The first time she's absolutely confident of that is when Shane is downright angry.

"No, mom, it's fucking ridiculous," Shane fumes, blinking. He's gotten better over the years, but when he was little, he couldn't get angry without crying.

"I know," Yuna agrees with him because that is usually the best thing to do. She glances over at Ilya, who seems relatively unbothered at Shane's anger.

"It's in the contract for a reason," Shane continued, paused, and then smacked his hand on the table. Not hard, but hard enough.

At that, Ilya stood up. "Come on."

"What?"

"We are going to the rink," Ilya stated simply, grabbing his and Shane's jackets from the coat rack.

Yuna winced. Shane didn't get angry too often, but ordering Shane around when he was angry never went well. He was going to-

"Fine," Shane said tightly, grabbing the jacket Ilya held out to him and walking through the door Ilya held open.

Yuna raised her eyebrows.

"I will fix," Ilya said quietly to her, smiling. "Tire him out. We will be back before dinner."

"Okay," Yuna smiled back, surprised.

As she locked the door behind Ilya, she found herself realizing she really trusted Ilya with Shane.

He was so confident with what Shane needed, so in step with him. After years of hearing how her son was emotionless, hard to read, anti-social, blank stare, etc. She knew he wasn't. He was so expressive and she didn't understand how others couldn't see that. But Ilya could read him so well - he always seemed to know what he needed, even when she didn't.

So he's confused and trying to find out why his phone still works and when his payments stopped and says something to Shane and Shane is very casual when he says, "Oh, yeah, they put you on the family plan, they asked me to swap out your simcard."

And just leaves it there, like Shane hasn't reset Ilya's worldview, his family, on the family plan, because once Ilya started making money off playing Hockey even at a low level Grigory kicked him off his phone plan and told Ilya he needed to find his own so Ilya's been on his own plan for a long time, and Shane's parents just...

They made him part of the family, it's not just a phone plan, it's a connection he hasn't had for a long time.

Anyway, yes he tries to pay for it but the Hollanders refuse. (Shane's been covering what he thinks adding Ilya to the plan costs, it's way more than it actually cost but his parents have resigned themselves to Shane giving them money for stuff, if they don't take it he will buy them something that costs that amount, each, so they don't argue with him anymore, they can refuse to give Ilya their account number.) This backfires on them because Ilya is like Shane in too many ways but also has different interests and he doesn't know the Hollanders quite like Shane does yet, which is how David gets a motercycle that he knows Yuna won't let him ride, (she lets him as long as he and Ilya go together, again this backfires because they are racing, they never tell Shane or Yuna this and David manages to convince whatever officer pulls them over to send the ticket to his work address, eventually there is an underground officer led motercycle racing that no one but them is participating in), and Yuna gets some kind of fancy car and laptop thing for her managing.

Again this backfires because she takes over his portfolio and starts getting him endorsement deals to get back at him and it just goes back and forth until one day he asks Shane to help him pick out a house and Shane wonders if maybe he's let this go too far, he does however help Ilya pick out the house and makes sure the taxes and utilities are paid for for years because he loves his parents and he loves his boyfriend/husband so he's just going to enable whatever this is.
