I hadn’t thought about the possible influence of Boston’s POV this episode! Interesting point.

I’ve always found it notable that Sand acts rather positively towards Boston when Nick brings him over to the apartment that first time. But since then, I haven’t seen much else that’s furthered that suspicion that they know each other.

The episode perspectives are really cool devices, but I’m not sure how far to take them. I don’t know how we could filter everything through Boston’s viewpoint for things that he’s not involved in? Or is it meant to be that if he’s sympathetic to Sand, we should get to see more of Sand’s reaction as opposed to other characters? I suppose it’s probably not meant to be taken literally.

I don’t get the impression that Boston feels any more positively towards Sand than the rest of them. But Boston is okay with screwing over his best friends, so telling Sand about Ray’s crush on Mew doesn’t seem as bad comparatively. He still knew it would pack a punch for Sand though. So I wouldn’t say Boston and Sand were friends before. And if they did know each other, I’m not sure what reason they would have to hide it from the rest of the group? Unless the implication is that they’ve secretly hooked up, but I think Boston would’ve already used that against Ray at some point during an argument. He doesn’t want Ray to feel that anything he has is truly his, and that goes for Sand too. I think he would’ve flaunted that pretty fast.

I also still think the half-brothers theory would be so cool, and I think there’s a way it could play out where it makes sense. My main concern now is if there’s enough time to watch a plot like that unfold.
