Co-captains? (We said the same thing)

When we see just one of them in shot, it usually suggests there's some kind of disconnect between them. Whether that's emotional distance or physical or both, it's always used consciously.

In the Dream Beach scene, their conversation only shows one of them at a time. It appears romantic (classic Stede) but in reality we know there's a big disconnect between them at this time.

Compare it to this unused shot of the same scene - particularly the points of contact between them - it creates much more depth and emotion. It seems more real.

We see it in the morning-after scene, and the Real Beach scene too. Emotionally, they're a lot closer now. They are also acting to each other, not to camera, and it truly rounds out the moment.

When we see both of them together, when the actors are actually looking at each other, it has a greater impact and that's deliberate!

For just a second, it's like his subconscious has automatically responded to hearing something that pairs him with Stede.

He undoubtedly remembers all those moments that united them in the first place.

Finally, Izzy recognises that Stede's 'magic' is inherently good.

Stede encourages Ed to turn his guilt-treasure poison into positivity, and it helps create something so beautiful here in the Calypso's Birthday/Pride Party moment.
