Prediction for Something There. Perhaps Ricky can’t perform the second act and Ashlyn won’t do it with EJ because no so she tells Miss Jenn to have Gina to step in for her as the understudy. We get portwell singing something there and while it won’t have the same effect seeing as EJ asked her out, it’ll still be adorable.

Bonus: what if we don’t see the risotto date and they both talk about it being perfect but neither were brave enough to actually express how they feel. So while there performing Something There, assuming they do, they both realize how strongly they feel for each other and then in the last episode Gina tells him how she feels, in part speaking her truth, which I’m starting to think has to do with her feelings for EJ.

What if Gina speaking her truth has absolutely nothing to do with EJ or Ricky but actually is her clearing the air with Nini. Nini seemed super salty when the chocolates were brought up and made a passive aggressive comment about secrets that was directed at Gina. Maybe it continues and Gina decides enough is enough and completely clear the air with Nini.

Bonus: I read a few comments stating that her speaking her truth could be to EJ about her liking Ricky before. Big question here. Doesn’t EJ know about her past crush on Ricky? Like in the first season he called her out for liking him and she admitted it. So why would her telling EJ about that when he already knows about it be anything to do with her speaking her truth.

So Gina said that the right guy would show up and stick around and a lot of people are saying “that has to mean Ricky because EJ is going to college.” Well hear me out here, if Matt said The writers are keeping him and EJ around that must mean that EJ isn’t leaving Utah and will more than likely go to University of Utah, which is literally 40 min away from that school and will most likely help Miss Jenn out. Portwell is being developed in a way that it’s most definitely endgame but also seems to be a long road type of relationship. If anything they’ll get together at the end of this season or the beginning of the next and be the power couple of the show even though Rini is the favorite couple. If the writers do it right Portwell can be the best Disney couple to date.

I love this!!! Keep it coming. I’m am curious if you would do one where Gina’s mom see’s the hoodie and asks Gina about it and who it belongs to during spring break? The class seeing during a zoom call would also be hilarious but I think her mom seeing would be a good story to tell. What do you think?

then somebody bends, unexpectedly.

wildcats, wonderstudies, ej and gina. they both bend, eventually.

Headcanon: Ginas mom picks her up from the airport and sees her talking to Jack but seems more focused on whoever she is texting. Gina notices her and quickly leaves but continues to text, which intrigues her mom. Her mom questions her about Jack but Gina quickly shoots her down stating they went to school together once and that’s it. The entire time Gina is still texting someone only looking up to answer questions here and there. When they get to her moms place she pulls off her jacket and her mom notices the Duke hoodie right of the bat and the fact that whomever Gina had been texting was making her smile brightly. Before she can ask about either one EJ face-times her and Gina answers immediately forgetting she’s with her mom. Her mom sees the brightness in Ginas eyes and smile while she’s talking to EJ and then hears him exclaim that’s were my hoodie went followed by Gina saying he left so she took it and them him saying she looks better in it than he ever would. Ginas mom watches and listens in shock.

So I may or may not have binged the entire series yesterday and caught up. Sit back and relax. I have a lot of thoughts.

CHARACTERS

RICKY

Ricky needs help. The first season he seemed a little unhinged. He was focused only on Nini and how to get her back, even though she was with EJ, who I have a lot to say about. It was borderline obsessive. Suddenly, Gina, again a lot to say about her, befriends him and they seemingly click but he still focused on Nini. Then they do get back together at the end and Gina isn’t even a lasting thought. By the second season he has completely cracked. Nini is his sole obsession and completely disregarded Gina, knowing how she felt towards him. Let’s not forget how hateful he acted towards Miss Jenn when she and Mike were starting to date. He was horrible. Now he and Nini are broken up and he will go into a depression I’m sure. He needs to focus on himself just for a while. He needs HELP!!!

Nini

Nini is great but she’s a little self involved. Not so much in the first season but in the second season she really kind of of is. Like all she had to do was be honest with Ricky but she wasn’t and it made that whole scene worse. Overall she’s a good character and I like her. I’m glad we're getting a more in depth look at her character and hope we get some more growth. There isn't much to say on Nini, other than she's great.

Ashlyn

Ashlyn is a sweet soul and is one of my favorites. I will say she needs to be a bit more observant to the people around her, especially Big Red. She has one of the best personalities of the characters and I can't wait to see what they have in store for her.

Carlos

Carlos is the most complex character yet also very outspoken and knows what he wants in life. I appreciate how amazingly blunt he is. like he says what he means and means what he says.

Seb

Seb is the literal definition of adorable. He must be protected at all costs. Also, Miss Jenn needs to leave him alone. He's the sweetest and cutest thing. That is all that needs to be said about him.

Kourtney

Kourtney is almost the male version of Carlos in the way she is outspoken. Like Carlos she says what she means and means what she says. She doesn't take any crap but will sure as heck will give it if it's deserved. I love Kourt, she's a spitfire and I really appreciate that in a person.

Big Red

Big Red is also the definition of adorable. He's playful, sweet, and loyal, in the best possible way. I love everything about him. I could go on and on about how much he should be protected at all costs. I won't though, but just know, he must be protected.

Miss Jenn

Miss Jenn is the teacher everyone wants but no one needs. She's relaxed but also stern. She loves all of her students, though sometimes it feels like she has favorites. I love her though, she's the best.

EJ

One of my two favorite characters. His development has been amazing. The changes in him have been great. His awareness of his mistakes is the best thing ever. They way he critiques himself is not okay though. EJ your perfectly imperfect and that's okay. My favorite thing about him though is his willingness to right all of his mistakes and to do better. EJ smiling is everything especially when it's at Gina. He's also a sweet guy, that thought of himself a lot but now thinks of others. EJ is just great and complex in the best possible way. Matt's portrayal of him is the icing on the cake because anyone else wouldn't do EJ justice. Matt is he embodiment of EJ. Also, Gaston, was truly immaculate and the flexing from Matt, um hello.

Gina

The other of my two favorites in the show. Her development has been outstanding. She went from being sketchy and closed off to being sincere and slowly opening up. I love how there showcasing a lot of her layers and really letting us know what she's about. The fact that she acknowledges what she did in the past was wrong and strives to be better is great. Even after being used by Ricky she chooses to open up to EJ and Ashlyn, which really is character development. Sofia's immaculate acting really accents who Gina is and what she's feeling at all time just by the expression on her face.

RELATIONSHIPS

Rini

They are cute together but they need to get their crap together before trying again. Not a fan of a super clingy boyfriend who wants to do nothing but talk to you or about you. I get it Ricky, you love her, she's everything to you, but dude, you have a life outside of her, live it a little bit. I also am not a fan of a girlfriend who doesn't communicate with said clingy boyfriend and instead caters to his behavior only to throw it in his face during a fight, not cool Nini. If they can find themselves outside of each other and then try again it will be a better deal for them. Just saying.

Rina

Not a fan at all and I'll tell you why. First off, I get and understand why there is a following but they were nothing but a tool to get Ricky and Nini back together. Ricky never actually cared about Gina, and even knowing how she felt about him, (don't come at me saying, "oh she wasn't clear about it with him." she literally said she wouldn't give up on them if she wasn't moving. She told him.) continued to ignore it in favor of asking her advice about Nini. He went so far as to say if we were dating, who says that to someone they know likes them. That was an absolute trash thing to do. So I am not a fan nor do I support this ship.

EJ and Nini

Another stepping stone to put Ricky and Nini back together. They never clicked and honestly there wasn't trust between them because she clearly still had feeling for Ricky and displayed that constantly. Yes, he had no right to take her phone, but Ricky had no right leaving that voicemail for her knowing she was seeing someone, not cool on either one.

Seblos

They are cute, but Carlos needs to watch what he says to Seb. dude hurt his feelings and that is not okay. Seb must be protected.

Kourt and Howie

There cute but rushed and aren't shown much, which I hope changes after this last episode because that was adorable and she needs to forgive Howie. Not much else to say on that.

Redlyn

They are very wholesome and I'm thankful that we saw that even they aren't perfect in this last episode. I do feel like we didn't get much development between them before they started dating , so that throws me a bit but other than that there very cute.

Miss Jenn and Mr. Mazzara

Adorable and I'm rooting for it.

Portwell

This has become my OTP. I love the slow burn of it all. How it was hinted at during season 1 and really highlighted after Gina told Ricky off. All of their scenes together are chef's kiss. The directions during practice was cute. The snorting laugh in the class room was absolutely adorable. The couch scene was immaculate and so wholesome. The fact that she was helping him but he still asked about her in an effort to know her better, was fantastic. Instead of pulling a Ricky and making all about him he actually made her feel needed and wanted, but also safe enough to open up to him. Following that with him putting his hoodie over her while she was sleeping was just wonderful and gave me all the feels. The promo showing that it's possible she's wearing said hoodie is too cute to handle. I love Portwell. Love, Love, Love them. I want more of them and will riot if we don't get it.

OVERALL THOUGHTS

Hsmtmts is a great show and I'm living for EJ, Gina, and Portwell. I can't wait for episode 9. I need to know if she's wearing his hoodie. I think she is and that her talk with Jack will help her realize how much EJ means to her and that she hadn't thought of Ricky in the longest time because she's so happy around EJ. Fingers crossed Ricky is no longer on her radar, he is trash for her.
