1. I think both girls will have an understanding of eachother, Nevaeh didn’t have the best up bringing and not having her mom around really took an effect on her, they won’t be besties but nevaeh I think will look out for saanvi 2. I don’t think Stephano did saanvi wrong, his relationship was on the rocks saanvi knew that and she sorta did take advantage of the situation, she knew he was still so in love with Vaeh even when they broke up he was so emotional and devastated, saanvi drank with him to try open him open to see, his response was 100% okay as he knew what he wanted but was took advantage of, in that moment too he wanted some physical touch he lacked that a little with vaeh but once he got that call that broke him and I knew even if it went further he would’ve very much regretted it after 3. Everyone’s dating life is different but she easily could’ve come out of it I find once the threesums and her recording herself with him happened I felt like she should’ve just got up and gone, her fathers wouldve supported her decision and she could’ve moved to a new school/town way before she got worse, but I do feel she didn’t give anyone a chance, she first seen stephano and didn’t be friend anyone else only him so when he eventually had to go for his relationship of course she was going to be upset, she needs some girl friends and to take a break from being friends with boys x

1) I don’t think Saanvi and Neveah’s relationship will change drastically. I can see them acknowledging each other with a small head nod if they’re in the hallway or something. Hanging out? No. Being respectfully cordial, yeah. I think they’ve reached a sort of begrudging respect for one another. They both revealed something extremely personal. They both have to blindly trust that the other will keep what was said between them and only them. 2) In what way do you mean about Stephano doing Saanvi wrong? My one point of contention with him was when he told her on the phone that she - “kept pushing and pushing.” Once Steph saw that photo of Nev kissing Nate, it was on and popping. He used Saanvi to try to get over Nev and deal with his hurt and angry feelings. I know he doesn’t blame her, but the way he phrased that bit didn’t sit right with me. He only felt sick and guilty about it once he found out about what happened to Nev at the party… Mind you, Steph has never allowed himself to think of anyone besides Neveah. Personally, I think he was slowly developing a deep connection with Saanvi - much to his own surprise that he probably refused to acknowledge. Just like how he usually puts his thoughts, feelings, desires, wants in life to the side…Sometimes I really don’t think Stephano is truly honest with himself. 3) I felt terribly for Saanvi. She was extremely vulnerable. A predator like Jaxon can smell that and will want to take advantage for his own pleasure and gain. Of course one can relate to why Saanvi fell for Jaxon. He is the one person who paid her undivided attention. She had no confidence, no self-esteem, no self-worth. I don’t blame her at all for falling for him. She was in such a vulnerable state emotionally and mentally that she was easy prey. She wanted someone to see her, notice her, like her. Saanvi wanted to stop feeling rejected and discarded. In some ways that is what Jaxon provided her until it turned into destruction.

From the moment Saanvi was introduced, I liked her. I adored her. I thought that she was an interesting character and that there was more to her. I'm glad my suspicion was correct. A lot of her previous actions are understandable now and are nuanced. Does it excuse her perceived pushiness? No. Can one realise where she was coming from? Yes. Can one give her grace? Yes. What she went through with her birth parents and with Jaxon - she took a severe mental, emotional, physical and spiritual beating. Saanvi was not just broken, she was shattered. Her spirit, sense of self, was broken prior to meeting Jaxon and shattered completely once she began a relationship with him. Saanvi has trauma that is just unquantifiable. When one of her dads said, he'd had enough, her immediate response was are you sending me away. That says a lot in and of itself. He clarified, they were moving as a family, together, to get her away from Jaxon and the environment in order to get her much needed help that her dads weren't equipped to provide. That is some loving parenting. For a brief moment while watching this, I wondered if Saanvi viewed Stephano as a saviour of sorts. No. She doesn't and never did. I've said this previously, that Saanvi has only really wanted to be seen. To be seen encompasses being valued as a human being, being liked, mattering to someone/people while also being appreciated for who she is. When she plucked up the courage to speak to Stephano that first time at the library, that took guts. When she made that joke about high school being a war zone, she went out on a limb and displayed a bit of her personality. She wasn't ridiculed for it. That was probably a foreign yet amazing feeling to her.

Stephano saw her. Saanvi saw him. Just as alien and exhilarating it must have been for Saanvi to have finally met someone who she could comfortably converse with, share with, relate to, express herself freely, display interests, desires, etc. on some level I think Stephano felt the same. The difference being that he definitely needed to create boundaries because of his relationship with Nev and not wanting to jeopardize that. Totally understandable. Having said that, I think that deep down, buried down, Steph was slowly coming to this uncomfortable, foreign realization of how at ease he felt in Saanvi's presence. How easy it was to simply be him and show different facets of himself without having to explain. It's different when you have a friend group that you've known since childhood, a girlfriend that you've know since babyhood. They know you, are familiar with you in one way. Here comes this other person whose seemingly getting to know you in multiple other ways that you haven't shared with those you've spent the most time with. It's unnerving. Personally, Saanvi made Stephano much more interesting to me. Her interactions with him brought out a side to him that made me be like, yeah, let’s learn more about him outside of his relationship with Nevaeh. I’ve said this before too - I’ve felt like Stephano’s life is very insular. Totally consumed by Nev. The introduction of Saanvi opened up his world just a bit more. His own mom said that he should think of himself and go for that writing program. When Saanvi was at their front gate waiting for Steph, it was cute to me how Ashley was quite bemused and curious about the young girl waiting for her son. I like to secretly think that she was pleased to see him with someone new. Even if on a strictly platonic level. This caps off my fan fiction, lmao.

Happy New year ladies! It's really nice to start off the new year right!!! I have a lot to process with this episode. I'm glad we know Saanvi's story cause it gives more perspective and depth to her character. 1. interesting question, I feel like their relationship will change for the better, with Neveah being the first person in their high school that Saanvi actually told her past to. I feel that Neveah would be more friendly and also have a soft spot for her just cause Neveah has also had her own terrible luck with life. I don't necessarily think they'd be tight but I'm hopeful about their dynamic cause I feel that Saanvi may actually be one of the few people to put Neveah in her place. Which I think is necessary sometimes; I'm thinking like Ashley's relationship with Bianca. Cause both characters are fond of being blameless so having a friend that might not hold back with the truth is necessary for such characters. I feel this cause Lynn and Rita don't necessarily strike me as blunt people but Saanvi does. Now with how this dynamic would be with Stephano in the mix is quite puzzling cause I don’t necessarily think Saanvi is completely over Stephano hence why she didn’t argue when Neveah said she’d have him all to herself if the surgery isn’t successful. i’m torn cause I also see Saanvi kind of protecting Nev and Steph’s relationship in the sense that she’d remind Neveah of how lucky she really is to have Stephano love her cause I do think Neveah takes it for granted. 2. I love Stephano with all my heart but I do think he should’ve been more considerate when dealing with the whole aftermath of them getting together. Like I understand he was clouded by the fact that Neveah has cancer but he’s usually a sweet guy but in this narrative ended up being the guy using someone as a rebound and dropping them at his earliest convenience. Even though I know it wasn’t intentionally, it was still his action nonetheless. And I know comments would arise with Saanvi’s persistent behavior but I would say that as a mature adult, it also seemed like something Stephano himself wanted to do because I remember him initiating that kiss. it also looked like they had vibes brewing at the writing camp. 3. Urgh It was indeed sad to watch, she literally changed from day to night before our very eyes!!! I’m a bit upset by her dads waiting for it to get so bad cause they really could’ve intervened as soon as she got that lip piercing. I can completely understand why she felt changing herself may make him love her more because most adopted kids I’ve interacted with sometimes have a displaced sense of self cause they didn’t get the love and attention they needed so they sought for it in different places; for Saanvi, she wanted to be seen and acknowledged and the relationship granted her that until it didn’t. What hurt the most was that she couldn’t see it until it was too late. Now to my unsolicited two cents, I kinda went back to watch from when they just aged up and couldn’t help but feel that this adoring nature of Stephano throughout his relationship with Neveah comes from some kind of displacement that he felt with not only his mum but with Ashley. It almost looks like he's using his relationship to cope with the lack of maternal presence he experienced growing up. Don't get me wrong Ashley did try her best but I feel like her absence during her memory loss may have resulted in some distance between them. This I think is why Stephano couldn't write about anything else at his writing camp, he LITERALLY could not even let himself experience anything outside of Neveah. It's like two of them feel obligated to each other cause they've been the only thing constant throughout their family's evolving issues. As much as Saanvi pushing looked bad I do think it was necessary that stephano experienced something outside of his gf! Also, with what we know now of Saanvi, I'm a bit skeptical of how her relationship might go with Roger. Like I know that Roger will love and care for her but I just doubt that he'd meet the love and attention she might need. I feel this just cause it seems that Roger is dealing with some stuff especially with Jock in the mix. Like I'm just scared of her getting hurt again. Especially with her dads telling her to cool down with her interaction with guys. On the flip side, I do see them also working well in context of them struggling with friendships. Finally, we've now learned that Neveah is actually going through with this surgery, it's good to know that her will to live is still very much there. However I just can't help but think that she has consistently disregarded one thing Stephano seems to value in a relationship... HONESTY! It's literally what he has mentioned that he values the most and I've just seen Neveah disregard it on very specific accounts... Didn't tell him when she started feeling sick again, didn't mention when she got diagnosed and made everyone around him lie to him, and yet again... She's about to do a whole surgery with his mum that he cannot stand and plans to not mention it to him.... Like bruhhhhh!!!! I just don't understand how any of it is okay. I've probably written way too much but I'm so invested in Saanvi's and Stephano's characters in these series😅

Canni

BROOOOOO!!!! I'm literally always waiting for your response cause it's like you just get my mind!!! I 1000% agree with Stephano not being honest with himself like let's just be real. This fantasy his living in just seems like it wont last especially with Neveah's consistent dishonesty. Like it seems like one day, he's going to have to pick and choose between loving himself or loving Neveah

Canni

AGAIN!!!! YOU GET IT!!!! BEST COMMENT EVER!!! She made him so much more interesting!!!! Like i felt like if Steph and Saanvi gave it a go, their dynamic would involve way more than just the relationship. I've always been drawn to her character since the beginning and it pleases my heart to know that someone did too!!! I honestly feel like he started to like her and just didnt want to consume the thought. The fact that he brought her to his house??!!!! Like have we ever seen Rita or Lynn at his house????!!!! Let's be for real!! they had. to have been vibing

I wondered too, about the length of time it took her dads to intervene. Maybe they thought she was going through a phase. With them being gay, I really believe that they didn't want to trample or stifle her self expression. Later on it got to such an extreme point that they needed to take drastic measures by moving and getting her help. They were scared. Uprooted their lives to save their daughter. I loved that they did that! Their new home is banging! Its very well possible that Nevaeh represents stability in his life. With all the turmoil that his family has been through, she has been the one dependable and stable person in his life throughout it all over the years. I can understand clinging to that because they are each others safety nets. Absolutely they love one another. Love can change and evolve over the years. I'd love to hear Seb's and Ashley's take on his relationship with Neveah. Especially Ashley's. They are supportive of them, no doubt about it. Ashley could casually bring it up - "oh, how is your new friend doing?" like most mom's would be.
