Richie got that for Patrick after Patrick called him his "boyfriend." The next morning Richie went out and got him a cheap something for good luck. If Patrick were all in as he were claming, that wouldn't be considered pushy.

While Patrick had reservations about being a "boyfriend" (which he initiated, not Richie), he told his mom that he was nervous bringing Richie to meet her because he didn't think she'd like him since he was a poor Mexican barber. He said he felt she'd want him to be with someone like Kevin or Jon.

I've heard spoilers indicating he is in the season finale but how knows? They will probably be cut for time and Raul Castillo will be in even fewer episodes this season as a regular than he was last season as a recurring character. If we do get him, I don't expect anything longer than a thirty second scene. (Yes,…

I think this episode took too many short cuts, as pointed out in the review, to make it satisfactory for me. It left me feeling frustrated and I don't know why.

They do have tension but Richie got to stand up for himself and not take any of Patrick's ish at the end of last season. I sure as heck hope they don't have him flip flop on that. If anything, I think he should distance himself again.

I agree with everything. Eddie and Agustin were the best part of the episode because it felt earned. We've watched their back and forth all season. None of their drama popped up out of nowhere.

I actually don't think they've established them as "anything more than friends." In fact, it has been just the opposite. While they have had some light hearted moments, most of their interaction this season has been filled with the tension of something lingering. It's a completely different vibe than what Patrick…

Deadwood was canceled. There were rumors about some wrap up movies for that show or a shortened fourth season but they never came to fruition. I've read different accounts/rumors about why that didn't happen from HBO pulling the plug on them to Milch feeling that movies would be insufficient to wrap things up the…

I think it'd matter to Patrick. He thinks Kevin chose him, it'd wound his ego to find out if that wasn't the case. And it'd also indicate that Kevin lied to him.

I don't think Richie was "fine." He was very guarded when he saw Patrick again. Still again when they had their ice cream. The most relaxed he has been with Patrick was the day they went to San Leandro to pick up the food truck. There seemed to be some residual affection bubbling up. He made it clear that he and…

I think it's fair not to like the way they started—to feel that a relationship built on the deceit of another, for months, isn't something that I don't feel particularly compelled to root for. I am also a manager and the idea of being romantically involved with a subordinate, with the power imbalance and the impact…

It was about 24 hours when Richie said he needed time. Richie wasn't being unreasonable and was actually trying to do the opposite of rashly push Patrick away. He wanted to think about it.

Except Patrick had already been in Kevin's arms when Richie met him outside of his apartment. And had been flirting with it before. What would have been interesting is to see what course of action Patrick took if Richie hadn't ended it then. Would he have confessed? Stopped sleeping with Kevin?

"I don't know how Richie manages to remain so chill and mature about this whole thing."
