Why do yâall keep saying âIanâs redemption arcâ as if heâs some kind of a villian or a monster. They are becoming this mature, grown up couple that actually talks about their feelings, TOGETHER. That couple that DOES something about it.
Ian doesnât need no redemtion arc. thatâs not how it works in a relationship where two adults always wanted & always will be to be together. It just wasnât the right time before: either Mickeyâs wasnât free or Ian was really really sick & couldnât handle it. Hell, even in 7x11 I get why Ian couldnât go with him! They couldnât be free & Ian still had his job, he still needed meds (heâll need to take them his whole life), he was stressed out about it. Itâs a big decision.
But now it is finally the right time for both of them. They are finally equal in this. They are not kids anymore. They are ready.
