I love Ricky. He sees a scary, misunderstood person and is like “I’m going to be their friend.”

Gonna drop this quick and run. But hear me out. I will start by saying that Ricky may very well have genuine feelings for Gina. I'm not dismissing that. I just couldn't help but notice somethings about Ricky's reactions here:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
As soon as EJ and Gina start fighting in 3.05, Ricky immediately covers his ears (kinda like a child does when their parents are fighting at home). I get the feeling he was used to his parents fighting a lot when he was younger, and his instinct was to cover his ears. He also looks at both EJ and Gina in 3.06 during the canoe scene. I think it's at that moment that he realizes just how much EJ and Gina truly care about one another, and how much they're fighting for their relationship. Thinking back to S2, he was also fighting really hard for his rela with Nini. But he learned to let her go because that was for the best. He actually gets that advice from his mom, who he understandably holds a lot of resentment towards. I could be wrong, but I read his expression in the 2nd gif as someone who has seen his own parents fail to save their relationship, but sees two people, despite all their recent tensions, still fighting for their relationship.
Earlier that day, Ricky comes face to face with his dad's new girlfriend and is presented with a gift from Mike via Miss Jenn:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I definitely think Ricky still feels uncomfortable at the idea of his teacher and father dating, even if he's trying to act like he's okay with it. When he receives the gift, he's not exactly happy about it. It's sort of surprises him, but not in a good way. Perhaps it's a not so subtle reminder that things have really changed for him back home. Later that day, he sees EJ and Gina trying their best to save their relationship, then hears this from Jet that night:
Tumblr media
Jet, being "little Ricky" and all (3.02), admits that he feels like it's his fault Madison and Maddox broke up. Does that not sound like how Ricky feels about himself in terms of his parents marriage? Perhaps he also blames himself for the downfall of his parents relationship. He couldn't save it or fix it. Instead of dealing with his own problems, Ricky is throwing himself into Jet and Maddox's issues to try to save their relationship. I think the majority of Ricky's issues in terms of romantic relationships always goes back to his parents, which they still haven't fully addressed. Three seasons in a row, and Ricky's main storyline revolves around his love life. If there's any chance for Ricky to truly move forward and find the path to true happiness, this season has to end with Ricky single and not ready to mingle and being okay with that. He hasn't taken any significant amount of time for himself to himself. I also think it's difficult for him to see EJ and Gina have the kind of summer he was expecting to have with Lily. While I don't think Lily broke his heart, I do believe she broke his trust. He even blames himself for why things fell apart because he said "How could I be so stupid?" in 3.01 during his breakup w/ Lily. He shows up to camp and the first image he sees are a genuinely happy and loving couple (Portwell). It seems like Ricky wants what they have because he was expecting to have a fun summer in a new relationship. Jet's line above definitely hit a nerve for Ricky because I think it reminds him of how things fell apart for his parents. In order to escape the pain he's feeling, Ricky tries to "fix" the relationship problems around him. One last thing, I don't think it's a coincidence that 3.06 is the first time this season that Ricky's acknowledged his past with Nini (also in conversation with Jet). In Ricky's eyes, he's had two failed relationships in a short amount of time, and to overcompensate for that, he tries to fix everyone else's relationship problems instead. I'm wondering what the last two episodes have in store for his character arc, because so much of it so far has been romance-based. For this character to actually progress in a positive way, he has to learn that it's okay to not be okay and that true happiness doesn't come from being in a relationship.

Okay but to be fair for Lily didn't Nini and Kourtney steal things then they laughed it off. Like let's not act like she was the first character to steal something on this show

Loving how quickly Lily got kicked to the curb, Ricky had no hesitation 💀
Also her calling him "Richie", who does she think she is trying to change his nickname? Goodbye 😭

if maddox somehow met lily and knew everything she'd said to ashlyn lily would not live to see another day i fear
Lily is the centerpiece of the ven diagram of all the things Maddox hates.
Let's see:
Preppy mean girl
Disses people based on appearance
Doesn't recognize talent or effort
Stole the harness and almost hurt Ricky ( he's brother at this point )
Messed with the set
Upsets Ashlyn
Threw a fit and transferred due to not earning lead
Brought Antoine around ( he's fine now, but it was still the worst opening night shes ever had )
Has all the vibes of the people that made her start homeschooling.
Maddox loves horror and hasn't had a good outlet in forever.......Lily is about to fear for her damn life.

You know i wasn’t a fan of Ricky and Nini as a couple but i think i finally appreciate it existed because Ricky’s development is really sticking, he is doing his best to not repeat past mistakes. I mean of course he is clinging Gina, he is her boyfriend and is in love but he is hardly grasping on an idea when he is with Gina.

i like the way ricky is one of the most shipped characters on hsmtmts because of joshua bassett's habit of appearing incurably in love with whoever his gaze happens to fall on in that moment

if there is one thing you can expect from a "mean girl" character introduced on hsmtmts, it's that she will immediately have the hots for ricky bowen

I'm not saying catching feelings at the most unexpected time isn't real, because life is unpredictable, but I'm not sure why the show expects us to forget that Ricky literally broke up with Lily 4 days ago. And now he apparently is catching feelings for Gina while she's in a relationship with EJ, the very same guy whose relationship he interfered with a year before. It would be one thing if Ricky realized his feelings in the season finale, but 4 days after a breakup with Lily, something he hasn't actually even processed or talked about yet, is... weirdly paced? Hasn't even been a week since his last break up, and he seems to be developing romantic feelings for Gina. Ricky seems to have a pattern of doing this (S1, quickly "pretends to move on" (1.09) when Nini sets boundaries (1.04), then he and Gina get closer in 1.05-1.07. Then gets back together with Nini in 1.10/S2. Breakup in 2.08, gets with Lily roughly a month later. Approximately 4 days later, he appears to show signs of jealousy regarding Portwell.) It all moves very fast with him, and a lot of that blame should be placed on his parents. And yet it's something he hasn't confronted yet. Perhaps Val can be a voice of reason for him next week? Sure, maybe he's developing feelings for Gina now, but there's no way he's ready to be in a romantic relationship with anyone this season. So I'm not entirely sure where they're going with this...

Ricky singing a song about finally being free after breaking things off with Lily, only to (allegedly) proceed to go to camp and get romantic with Gina again.
The last thing this sweet, stupid boy needs right now is a girlfriend. Please save him from himself.
The serial monogamy has got to stop 😭✋🏽
