vitally important addition to this post—what happens in this episode:
nat and georgia (the brother and sister) are staying in a holiday cottage so that they can be together one final time before nat gets married to his girlfriend, jules. he is missing the wedding rehearsal to be with georgia.
due to some sort of double-booking situation, there is another family staying at the cottage; when they go fishing georgia and nat have sex (the sex isn’t shown onscreen, but we see them naked in bed making out afterwards).
they talk about their past and lament the fact that they can’t be free to be together; georgia says, “let’s just make the most of our last day together. then we can go back to being proper brother and sister again.” more making out and fucking offscreen ensues. (okay this scene is genuinely really emotional 😭 i’m not doing it justice with my lackluster narration)
the other family staying at the cottage come back from their fishing trip early and one of them walks in on nat and georgia naked and in bed together.
the family leave, disgusted, despite nat and georgia’s desperate attempts to de-escelate the situation and redeem themselves. georgia is convinced they’re doomed and that their relationship will inevitably be revealed; nat tries to comfort her and decides to leave to try to convince the family not to tell on them.
as far as i can tell from just those 25 minutes, the show is surprisingly sympathetic towards the couple; it seems like we are meant to feel sad for them (important disclaimer, though, that i watched this episode with absolutely no context whatsoever, so i could be wrong). anyways. let’s factor this into noel’s pre-loch lomond psyche shall we 😍
