With good trouble I joined for Callie, but I stayed for Evan Speck. This season they really made him the most developed and relatable character of the whole show.
It’s so sad for a multitude of reasons. 1. Mariana feels guilty so she’s trying to fix things for him. 2. She’s still very much in love with him, and she knows how fragile life can be now. She likely regrets not being with him when he was almost taken from her. 3. He doesn’t remember her or their love and that’s sad because while her emotions are heightened his are dormant. 4. She hates betraying his trust in any kind of way because she loves him so much. She hates hurting him because she understands him better than anyone.
This scene is incredibly heartbreaking and so real. From the moment the doctors told her to not say anything to Evan I was incredibly frustrated, despite understanding their likely medical reasoning. As a psychologist, however, after a certain amount of time of recovery, it seems prudent to disclose major details to somebody who has just suffered a near death experience and TBI. So the fact that Mariana just kept continuing, not saying anything, was very frustrating. Similar to her, not disclosing the shenanigans at speculate. As far as Evan, I completely understand why he would be wary, especially as it seems his behavior (to him) was very out of character.. UGH I love M+E so much though. #Endgame
