    I had two comments to make about this episode, and I agree with everything you’ve already said, just wanted to note these two things…

    First, Gojo didn’t notice that Marin had gained weight, although he’d be in a better position than anyone in the world to notice it. It’s not impossible — although he did just fit her for a suit, she was wearing binders for that, and he was aware that those were going to change her shape. It’s obviously a good-boyfriend trait that he’s the least judgemental person in her life. Her stylist and her fellow models will notice if she gains a couple of pounds, but Gojo’s honest response is “isn’t it normal for people to gain and lose a little weight over time?”

    The other thing is, in the scene where Gojo is photographing Marin; I really expected that to be the moment where he fell head-over-heels for her (or to realize it’s already happened, like she realized by the end of the first season). It was strange that after that lavish scene, where he sees her so happy to be seen and photographed by him, that he’s just excited about the camera. If that didn’t do it for him, what else could?

  2. Interesting point about Gojo. I mean, I never really thought about it because it was just kind of a given he was in love with Marin. But since you mentioned it yeah, we don’t really get the direct evidence of that much, like we do from her POV. I think it’s more a function of the fact that most of the time the writing treats him like a Marin accessory rather than a co-lead. His feelings just aren’t as important as hers.
