they connect!

We all saw what happened: two boys caught in a bathroom in a compromising position, a leaking pipe that won’t stop, and a washroom called Dick..... We are expected to laugh at the implications of being “caught in a bathroom,” suggesting that something improper is occurring. If the story were leading towards them ending up together, this could be interpreted as a chaotic romcom moment. However, since Will’s love remains unacknowledged and disrespected, the writers are simply adding another moment to laugh at Will’s unresolved desire, turning it into a gag.

For Will, the implications of this scene reflect the very real fears, shame, and dangers associated with being queer in that era. Say what you want, but this scene does echo the experiences of queer people who were caught and exposed in private spaces during the 1980s.

"it's a guilty pleasure but...nutella 😳" (relieve yourself of fear and enjoy your dessert toast)

This implies that maybe Will started wearing his mother's jewellery after he came out and I just think that's so cute 🥺💗
