Sophie, Dani, Finley....it’s a classic “about to get married but you’ve been neglecting me so I cheated” storyline. Complete with an airport montage and cliffhanger. Which is fine, don’t get me wrong. I also don’t want to talk about who’s to blame, whether Sophie’s bad for caving in and sleeping with Finley, whether Finley’s bad for getting with a friend who’s engaged, whether Dani’s bad for never being there for her fiancée. They all kind of are and they’re not. It’s messy and even though it’s a trope this seemed very real (loved the sex scene, they’re laughing and crying and fighting their desire, very visceral). I just came to say, I wish Sophie and Dani had talked, is all. And I know Sophie’s supposed to be petrified because she feels guilty and maybe I’m projecting here, because if I were her I would be bursting with Words and Rage and Apologies. I just wish she’d said something like, “This is the first time you’ve said you loved me in a month.” Or she could have said, “You haven’t been present at all for this entire campaign and now you want to elope??” Or, “I don’t want you to marry me now because you have nothing else to do.” Wouldn’t even have had to be about cheating, sinced they probably didn’t want her to drop that bomb (yet).Idk. Maybe less dramatic, but Sophie still could have left for work and slept with Finley then. Maybe no airport montage, but Dani actually realising what was going on. Or screaming and crying in the bedroom and Sophie storming off. I get the narrative choices, but I was just achinggggg for a conversation/fight. Maybe that’s just me. Not necessarily “Lack of Communication as Plot”, but these characters do strike me as people that would eventually pluck up the courage to say something.
