Yeah, nothing like hearing the guy you just had sex with, in your bed no less, call his long-term, committed partner "baby" to drive home that you're really just the mistress in that situation.

Richie didn't say "not having it, leave me alone," he said he needed space because he didn't want to speak in anger and say the wrong thing.

It was a few hours, not days. The scene at the barber shop was the day after the wedding and the scene in front of Patrick's apartment was later that night.

I don't know. Patrick was on the clock when he yelled at Richie like a dog to "stay" when they were at the hotel. Then when he yelled at Richie, again, because he brought some weed to the wedding because "what would Patrick's family think?" was Richie's last straw. That Patrick's own mother brought weed to the party…

But that's my point. They don't work out for him. I'm much more willing to sympathize with someone whose flaws are self-destructive than those who are so selfishly motivated that they don't care who they take down with them.

If anything, seeing Patrick in San Leandro gave him some more depth, too. Yes, he's a coddled, upper-middle class, white collared white boy, but he was very open to Richie's family. Because they were Richie's family and he may not have been quite as comfortable in San Leandro without Richie, but Patrick's biases and…

Why? If this were a real relationship that lasted years, why would he always be the "gringo outsider" if Richie does fully reconcile with his family where he stops trying to avoid them to have a fuller relationship with them?

That just means the people in Patrick's life are more mature than he is, not that he's trying to bring them down.

I thought it showed that Richie's finally moving on and accepting what the relationship is now. When they first see each other after Richie drags Agustin home, he can barely look at Patrick while they're in the kitchen and just leaves without responding to Patrick's "good night."

I don't disagree with you there. Kevin getting his own scenes without one of the three main characters broke with how they've written the rest of the series.

Thank you. I always felt thought that there was more to Patrick and Richie than what they had in common, since they had so little in common. There was an intimacy and an honesty, since Patrick felt comfortable enough to call out Richie's superstitions on that date, to their relationship that makes it "make sense" even…

I thought Kevin was consistent with how he's been portrayed all along. He didn't handle Patrick's rejection at the wedding well, so he stalked Patrick all day the next day until he manipulated Patrick into coming down to the office to bang him. Kevin was shown to be Want, Take, Have kind of person last season.

Did anyone else get a twinge of bittersweet nostalgia when Richie called Patrick "Pato" at the restaurant?

Didn't Patrick tell Agustin that Richie's "the better person" Agustin wants to be after they talked about how Agustin went to see Richie and Richie let him have it … then still trimmed his beard for him.

I like Patrick, in spite of his myriad flaws. Partly because he's played by Jonathan Groff, but also because, for the most part, Patrick's flaws hold him back rather than hurt other people. He can be insufferable and annoying and needy but he's not malicious, just coddled.

That's why I don't see them as having this "easy" rapport, either. They have sex and they have conversations that seem relaxed since they're about what they have in common, but I don't see any actual closeness or intimacy between Kevin and Patrick. They make some attempts at it, like when Kevin did his dance in the…

But Agustin hit a low point in his life. No job, no boyfriend, no home, and the dawning realization that what he thought of himself was a complete fraud.

Nah. A lot of people don't like Patrick. I'd probably want to punch him in the neck five times each episode if he wasn't played by Jonathan Groff.

Okay. I got it. Thanks.

Just responding to having my character impugned because I don't agree with you. I watch the show and I have opinions on it.
