00:00 Do you think that this is going to get in the way of her feelings for Elliot?
00:04 Her relationship with Thomas?
00:06 I don't think anything's going to get in the way of her feelings.
00:09 I think it's just a matter of timing.
00:11 Yeah.
00:11 You know what I mean?
00:12 It's like when you do have that love of your life in your life, it's...
00:18 Once you feel it, you can't not feel it.
00:20 It just changes.
00:21 Right.
00:22 And so, I think it matures in different ways.
00:25 And I think what I love so much about Cat and Elliot is that
00:28 we're getting to a point, and you'll see it's not a spoiler or anything,
00:31 but you get to the point where you can see them really trying to
00:36 see it from the other side.
00:39 And that was one of the things at the beginning of this season where
00:41 I really love the scene between Sadie and I where Alice is like...
00:45 It was right when Elliot had come back from his summer, his hot boy summer.
00:53 Mr. Flops.
00:56 That's what Sadie and Loves to affectionately call him.
00:58 The flip-flops.
00:59 It was a whole thing.
01:00 Mr. Flops.
01:01 But she's so upset at Elliot because he bailed.
01:05 And Alice mentions that, and Cat ends up saying it's like,
01:09 "You can't be mad at him for making that choice.
01:12 He needed to make that choice."
01:14 I mean, he's still a man, but like...
01:16 She's so mature about it.
01:17 Yeah.
01:18 In that moment.
01:18 Yeah, in that moment.
01:19 I like that it was expressed though, because I felt like that was a really
01:24 responsible way to say it.
01:26 Because life isn't always...
01:29 It doesn't always have to be as terrible and whatnot as I think it gets made out to be.
01:36 Like on television, I think honesty sometimes is really hard to find.
01:39 And that's why our showrunners and our writers are just so fantastic,
01:43 because they do find those honest, real, raw moments.
01:47 And another reason why the audience loves it so much is because no matter where you come from,
01:52 no matter how you identify or what your family looks like, if it's blood or if it's chosen,
01:58 they can all find themselves in these characters.
02:00 And I think that is a massive compliment, just like the Beatles' compliment.
02:05 I'm never, ever going to forget that.
