#john bates

i've probably posted about this before but the best scene in thomas' season 3 "incident" is when mr bates goes outside his house at like midnight and thomas is just ?? there ?? just kinda staring at the house and smoking his little cigarette ?? and mr bates is not at all surprised by this ?? and then they have a whole conversation without ever addressing that it might be a little weird that thomas might have been out there ?? and then thomas drops his cigarette on the ground, walks away, and they never talk about it again. is your gay little coworker standing outside your house at an ungodly late hour of the night really not that surprising ?? how often does he do this ??
