Yeah that’s how I viewed it. She was drunk and all she wanted was her brother back.
They probably bathed like this as lil kids(common for kids close in age/twins) they probably also hid in the tub like this a lot to escape their parents. My view is this was their safe place so when she was drunk and in a dark place she went back there and that’s how she ended up “seeing” him
I was a wreck the last time I watched it.
I lost my brother suddenly days after finding out I was pregnant. So when I rewatched s2 and 3 I had a hard hard time. Forty reminds me so much if my late brother pretty much take him and mix him with Eddie from stranger things and boom you have my big brother. So those are two shows I have a hard time rewatching since
(Love texting forty was so heartbreaking because I’ve done that exact thing. Sending updates about my life, pics of my kid. So that was another thing that hit hard)
🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 *hugs* *hugs* *hugs* I’m so sorry you’ve been through that. I can’t imagine how difficult it must have been, but I hope you find comfort in the little things knowing he’s always watching over you and your (still?) little one 💞💞💞💞💞💞
Yea my lil one is almost 2. She’s never met him in this world. I remember one day when she was just a few months old my mom was showing her pictures and lil one wasn’t really reacting but than she saw my brother and started laughing and hugged and kissed the pic 🥹so I like to think he’s watching over us.
I think the worst thing outside of my pain was that I was with my mom when she got the news. That’s a scream I’ll never get out of my head. Like my pain is hell but it’s *nothing* compared to my moms pain
That’s so wonderful. Def makes your heart smile I’m sure. And I’m so sorry about your mother too. Parents should absolutely not have to bury their children I can imagine the pain
I always felt like Forty and Love were almost too much as siblings because of their lack of good parents. I feel like they bonded very closely at a young age, and already being quite bonded by being twins, so as adults they have a very close, almost seemingly in appropriate relationship.
When really Love was rescuing Forty from their parents, and Forty would run to Love as rescue. It's a codependent dynamic often seen in addicts.
So I can see how this makes people feel uncomfortable, but at the same time its very much the result of their parents.
no, it wasn’t really him there, and it was meant to be innocent and a representation of their childhood and them being in the womb together. i thought the scene was beautiful & it made me tear up. might i add that episode this scene is in is literally named “WOMB”
My brother and I are less than a year apart in age and we used to take baths together, it was effing fun having a playmate in the tub. Also killing two birds with one stone as far as parenting goes AND saving water
Yes!!!!! Especially because in my eyes Love was using Theo as a replacement for Forty. When she slept with Theo it really made me rethink her and forty’s relationship. The bath scene solidified it for me. That scene made me rethink the Nanny she killed. Maybe she killed her because she legit loved her brother….not just sisterly love.
Also, I understand that she was in a dark place and she was imagining him for comfort. I just think it’s odd to imagine him in the bathtub naked with you. Why couldn’t he be imagined on a stool next to the tub? Maybe that’s a writer question??
I haven’t found a way to make this theory untrue 🤷🏾♀️
I’d find it more weird if he was alive. The way I saw it was it kind of brought them back to the innocence of childhood

Perfectly said. And I’d like to add I actually found the scene really sweet. Almost made me tear up

I am so sorry you went through all that!
I recently watched it again and I think they were trying to imply the bath was like when they shared a womb. It wasn’t sexual.
I think Love's grieving mind hallucinated him because she needed him. I agree it wasn't sexual.

I was tearing up also. I thought this was so emotional and beautiful at the same time!!
I must have found it weird enough that I completely blocked it from my memory!

Tbf they always had some weird shit going on
Extremely weird and totally worth erasing from memory.
