... a M|M ship with major parental issues were high school sweethearts undercover (both having one of their fathers assaulting them after he found them together), went years going in and out of each other's lives (including one entering the military, religious fanaticism, and jail time in respective orders), then got engaged in the third-to-last episode of a season, and married in the finale, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

To me calling the Alex Guerin of it all years ago! 🍾🥂

Michael: *Does so they can get his ex out of a human hospital so their friends can properly treat her alien ailment*

Michael (their next scene): I’m going to go off by myself.

Alex: No. We’re finally getting together this episode.

Alex (their next scene): I’m going with you, we’re doing this my way, because I’m the one who joined a secret government agency that might want to study you  to make your world safe and used my now-ex (Who is that again?) to recruit me because they know that I love you for us. We’re finally getting together this episode.

Alex (their next scene): *Successfully flirts with Michael using the least-sexiest words by way of posturing how to save Michael’s ex and Michael’s brother from Michael’s dictator father* We’re finally getting together this episode.

Alex (their next scene): *Is profoundly emotionally vulnerable for Michael* We’re finally getting together this episode.

Alex (their next scene): *Wants to stop Michael from killing Michael’s father because he’s inside of Michael’s brother’s body* Maybe I need to add some physical sexual tension. We’re finally getting together this episode.

Michael: *Immediately compliant and defenseless*

Alex (their next scene): *Saving them both, Michael’s brother, and, therefore, also Michael’s ex from a dictator* You got to beat my ass-hole father with his own crutch (been there with my own crutch). My turn with your truck. Sorry that he’s inside of your brother. We’re finally getting together this episode.

Alex (their next scene): *Like the bossiest emotional boss, exuding future-husband energy, he’s been for the entire episode* Stop hugging your ex, it’s my turn, because she is my best friend. We’re finally getting together this episode.

Alex (their next/final scene): Your mother was a genius and a fighter and you’re just like her. We’re finally getting together this episode.

Michael: I understand that you can’t tell me any thing about the secret government alien-studying agency because I’m an alien.

Alex: You’re not getting it. We’re finally getting together this episode. Total transparency it is then. I will tell you every thing.

Michael: Oh. That’s new.

Alex: ... Wait--What is happening?

Michael: *Goes to kiss Alex* Yeah, okay, we’re finally getting together this episode. It was MY plan all along!

Alex: *Immediately compliant and defenseless* ... Oh. Finally.

What? Were the rest of you too distracted by all of the flirting?
