I only messed with “The Catullan” because I was trying to do something good for “The Foxy.” I wasn’t trying to do something bad to you.

(Long post) We need more posts under this tag. So I'm going to take the liberty of analysing all the hints we got to Bela and Eric since they were subtly thrown in there and wouldn't hold any importance until the courtyard scene.
Season 1 episode 1 -
We didn't get anything romantic out of the dialogue, but the elements of the directing style are used to foreshadow/parallel the scene in S1 ep 10 where they are at the same location
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's supposed to reflect on time passing and how close they've gotten and are going to get in the near future.
It also matters that Bela approached Eric first in the pilot instead of Ryan, Eric gets a deeper introduction first (This holds no importance to Bela at the time, but it matters from a viewer's point of view, especially since this gets repeated in every episode that the Catullan gets mentioned/Mekki Leeper (Eric) and Conor Donnally (Ryan) are in.) From the get-go, we get shown that Eric isn't very approachable, he reinforces Catullan rules, and he's strict in comparison to Ryan.
Even though Eric's first conversation with Bela seemed to make him come off as misogynistic and racially insensitive, there's actually a few things to note about this interaction that differs from when we saw him in orientation.
Even though he says '600 words, no puns.' at orientation, he was willing to hear Bela out on her idea even if he didn't agree to it.
He genuinely doesn't want to discourage her because he can notice her passion for comedy.
We learn later in the episode from Ryan that the whole board decides who gets picked, so learning this makes Eric come off as more ignorant than sexist and racist. He's just afraid of changing the system.
I'm also assuming that this is Eric and Ryan's first year of being co-editors. It's more likely to assume that Eric got chosen for his work ethic/writing skills and Ryan was more chosen from the social aspect.
Just to be clear, I am not justifying Eric's behaviour. It was not right to talk to Bela like that. I feel like he consciously knew that the Catullan was not right for Bela, not because she wasn't good enough, but because it was heavily male-dominated and he wasn't confident enough to change the structure.
Season 1 episode 5
I think this was the first substantial hint that we get to Bela and Eric being a possible pairing.
Notice how he's the person who opens the door when Bela crashes the wine and cheese soiree? He doesn't protest to her being there, he simply just asked "What are you going here?" if he was one of the people who didn't want her there, I feel like he would've told her to leave. Especially since we know he's not that nice to the other freshmen.
I feel like the next scene where she joins him and his friends to try to know what they were talking about was one of the moments where it really does humanize his character. He doesn't ignore her, nor avoid the topic of conversation, he lets her join in on the conversation.
His half-smile was more out of amusement rather than being rude. He smiles twice in this scene and we know from episode 8, as told by Bela, that he rarely smiles.
And this was the episode where I feel as though he's intrigued/interested in her but he himself doesn't know yet.
Season 1 episode 7
This is a little detail, but I feel like it just adds to why these two are actually more compatible than people think. When Jeff turned in his submission, Eric makes a snarky comment about Jeff's piece on baby Yoda. I feel like Bela making the same comment with the same expression as Eric does really represents their similarities.
Comparatively, we know that Eric is more strict when he has to instruct things to the group (Can be seen when he's talking in episodes 2 and 7) . But when something is directed at Bela, he's actually softer. I think it's because she carries a similar work ethic to him, and she's always willing to learn. I think he really admires that about her which is why she stands out to him a lot more than the other freshmen do.
"I'm not sure if Eric likes me enough."
Bela saying this matters because it means that she does care about what Eric thinks of her personally. Especially since this leads back to the pilot episode where Eric says he doesn't know if she'd make the cut.
"Eric doesn't like anyone. I'm his best friend and roommate, and he still regularly calls me a talentless hack."
This foreshadows episode 8 where Bela and Carla's piece gets chosen for the instagram page. It also foreshadows episode 10 where Eric says Bela's piece was pretty solid.
Season 1 episode 8
"Eric's not that bad."
Carla saying this was a message to the audience that despite Eric's outward mean exterior that he puts on, he's not as bad as people think he is.
"Eric? the only time I've seen Eric smile was when I tripped on a cord."
This is supposed to make you think about the times we've seen him smile. And most of the times we've seen him smile were actually directed toward Bela. (it even foreshadows to later in the episode where he does smile at her when her piece gets picked for the Catullan instagram.)
I also think the fact we get told that he smiled at her when she tripped on a cord instead of being shown it was on purpose to heavily exaggerate it since it's from Bela's point of view. I think if we saw a scene when this happened, his smile would most likely have been more of an 'I'm charmed.' smile. Because Bela doesn't know that Eric does think highly of her.
Also, I feel like his smiling when she tripped on a cord does still have significance since it means he's paid attention towards her.
Season 1 episode 9
"Now Eric officially hates me, I shouldn't have said anything."
Again, she cares about what Eric thinks of her because she admires him from a writer's point of view.
Not much is there to discuss but the fact he took offence to Bela referring to Ryan as the 'handsome' editor as opposed to him shows that he subconsciously does have romantic feelings for Bela.
Eric apologising by writing out his apology shows that he's better articulated through words. He says in the note that he comes off awkward and thoughtless, which explains a lot about how he talks to people because he's not used to being a leader and meeting new people. And I think the fact he went back to apologise to her and explicitly state the words 'I believe you and I will do something about it.' means a lot to her because title 9 didn't do anything, Eric saying that he believes her and will do something about it makes her feel better because it gives her clarity. Especially since we knew that she was having a hard time processing what happened to her (She probably still has a hard time figuring it out. But having people to support her is helping her deal with it.)
(I am not excusing Eric for his actions once again. The way he reacted to what happened to Bela was very poor.)
Season 1 episode 10
I feel like when we watched episode 9, we didn't fully warm up to Eric yet. But I think the fact he held up to what he said, taking further action, going as far as to defend her credibility after Ryan tried to use the handjobs against her, while also defending both Bela and Carla's word was a step up for him in the right direction.
Also when Bela leaves, you can mainly see Eric and Evangeline's reactions toward it.
It shows he has capabilities of changing and with the proper guidance, I think he'd have a great character arc. Eric already had a pretty nice character arc in season 1. It was a smart writing choice because, for the most part, he seemed very background, mostly just there, but throughout the scenes, it largely hints at him being misunderstood. Especially when you acknowledge the fact that he probably got manipulated by Ryan. When you take note of Eric having minimal people he lets in, it largely took a toll on him that his best friend would do such a thing to Bela, who he has grown to care about.
"You think it's fun that I have 2 dads?"
Again, this shows that he cares about her opinion/what she thinks. It's sweet because when you think about how disingenuous a lot of the other people in his life were (The guys at the Catullan taking Ryan's side.) he really only mainly got along with Evangeline, Carla, Jo, and Bela. He likes that Bela has no motive, she means everything she says to him because she likes his presence.
"I do."
Fangirling rn, the actors just have amazing chemistry with each other. It's so natural and I love it so much. Bela agrees to it and he reacts back with "yeah, I guess it's kind of fun." just seals everything for him. I think he realized at this point that he has a crush on her.
It also helps that this scene has a lot of flirty subtext with their body language. (I love how Bela does a flirty shoulder tilt when she asks if she'll see him around, because it's something that Eric does at her in the teaser clip of the season 2 trailer when they're at the library and she's talking about writing a piece about short kings and he's like *shoulder head tilt* "I'm flattered, thank you.")
That little teaser we got of them in the season 2 trailer also shows that he's loose now that he and Bela are friends and it's really nice to see!

Girl I'm so serious, if you look anything like this, you need to stay away from me for your own emotional and sexual well being. I will also steal from your house.
