so i just finished watching sweetheartās day againā¦ i laugh every time, because i find the random bursting into song to be hilarious for whatever reason.
and maybe iām a little biased, but itās impossible for me to see the implications of this episode any other way. perhaps small implications, but i feel like they are there.
the way these two look at each other as armando sings, āyou have my heart and hold the keyā
the way mateo gives elena this tender, yearning, blink-and-youāll-miss-it glance as armando sings ātoo shy to speak to you / or get too close to where you areā
i just canāt get over itā¦ and the fact that mateo is the only one of elenaās friends we see here (granted, his wizardry was kind of vital to reversing armandoās spell). but i canāt recall the last time that, out of the four main amigos, it was just elena and mateo included in an episode without naomi or gabe being around.
and then they are, and the episode just happens to be called sweetheartās day. am i reading into it? no idea. but i want to blissfully pretend what the showrunners did here was intentional.
i mean, where was this guy when flo and armando just strolled into his workshop? mateo never left the door open when he wasnāt in there. realistically, he was probably gathering potion supplies or something. but iām sure you can assume all the other amazing possibilities my brain keeps coming up with (one day iāll write a fanfic, maybe).
also, on a completely different note i believe this is the first and only episode where we get to hear a mateo and elena duetā and even then, itās only one line (correct me if iām wrong). and now i just feel robbed, because the two of them sounded good together.
but yeahā elena and mateo, the great unfinished symphony.
or maybe just one never started, but fed by my own delusional ideas.
