1.) ej gets an emotional scene in which he breaks down and has a heartfelt song dedicated to him, like all of the other struggling characters have gotten thus far (some have gotten multiple songs).

2.) ej gets a hot villain bop in which he corrupts the entire show as a last screw you all to the cast who has been nothing but inconsiderate of him

3.) ej gets a heartfelt ballad in which we can all begin to sympathize for him until it takes a sickening turn into a hot villain bop

WTF did they do to him?!?

What was the narrative purpose of taking a character who spent the better part of a season paralyzed by a fear of rejection to… have that fear proved correct? His girlfriend broke up with him, his father outright rejected him, and in the end, he was right that there was something between a friend he described as HIS BROTHER and a girl he loved… AGAIN?

What was the point of putting him through Duke and his dad in season 2 if THIS is what Season 3 was going to do? What on EARTH was the point? There’s no growth from here that he hasn’t already gone through, what’s the purpose to the pain? Why did the story give him a “redemption arc” through seasons 1 & 2 just to leave him… here?
