actually embarrassing how bothered i am that the show shelved eileen, for the obvious reasons such as “why would they replace a multi season love interest with a blurry faceless wife” and “isn’t it a little suss that a badass Deaf character wasn’t allowed to stick around” but also because narratively it would be been perfect? the show opens with sam losing someone he wanted to spend his life with who he had to hide his real life from, WHY would it not close with him finding someone he wants to spend his life with who he doesn’t have to hide from. in the pilot he corrects dean - “not normal, safe.” why not saileen endgame i am ASKING
