I never really took notice into Ava and Bea’s relationship in S1 because I was HOPING for soemthing but I thought the director just had them really good bff’s. But in S2 ep1 I saw the looks and the deep breaths and I got VERY excited that my gaydar wasn’t as broken as it normally is😂😂
If you look closely, in the photo they BOTH stare at, Kara is wearing a VERY specific pink and white striped sweater. The last time we see her wearing that sweater is VALENTINE'S DAY.
Val stuck his tongue out. He caught that black girl magic. They were jealous, that is why she didn't win. Watching her is when they realize how beautiful black women are and talented.
