but for real i like how we all are essentially making the same tags on that post. because the way he was looking at her was SO MUCH. and because manny played it perfectly. it wasn’t gross and sexualized. but it wasn’t clinical either. he did a PHENOMENAL job. and the way beth was looking back at him—not like she felt put on display, but like she was scared he was going to find the truth even in the absence of the wire? perfection! christina and manny really did such a great job with that scene. 

the way that dean has absolutely NO idea what’s going on between beth and rio. dean is in PRISON because of beth working with rio and they STILL can’t have an honest conversation about it. dean still thinks that beth is sleeping with rio, despite the fact that beth has been trying to orchestrate his downfall (via the hitman and now the secret service) for quite some time. and dean thinks this because beth won’t tell him! she won’t tell him the truth! because there is no honesty in their relationship, there’s no trust or transparency. there’s only rose-colored glasses for gazing into the past.
