In this episode Stephano and Nevaeh prepare for their wedding but things go left when Nevaeh gets a text that could change everything.

WATCH HERE

You know the drill, we'd love to hear your thoughts on the episode:

1. What do you think was going through Stephano’s head while he sat in the hotel room he got for him and Nevaeh alone?

2. If you were Nevaeh and knew this was your only chance at survival, while also knowing that anyone you would have told would stand against your choice (especially as a minor) would you have taken the same risk?

3. Do you really think Braeden can handle being a father without the support of his family?

4. What do you think the aftermath of this wedding will be?

Can't wait to read your responses!

Enjoy!

Much love,  

Streetsimmer 💜

For him to not just think about breaking up with her, but to actually do it, took an immense amount of courage. Frankly, it wasn’t looking like Steph would follow through it based on his previous actions. Nev forced his hand, and I’m glad. He wouldn’t have done it otherwise. We’re talking about someone who for years, held everything in, let things go, minimized his feelings, was careful with his words, put his all into a relationship with his girlfriend since they were children before they even officially got together. This was far from easy for him. One of the most difficult things he’s ever had to do and face in his life thus far. All this time Nev’s sole purpose for living was Steph. Steph was the one pushing her to want to live. It was his desire to see her live. It’s one of those things where you’re like I want more for you than you do for yourself. Why? Why don’t you want this too? I can’t fight this alone, I need you to want to fight too. This desperation (may not be the best word to use) of sorts, I wonder if its also because of what his parents went through. Every single day Sebastien was in the hospital with Ashley and fighting for her post. Steph knows this. Seeing his father do that for his mom, that’s what he knows as a basis of support. He loves the relationship his parents have. He knows even through the very rough moments that they’ve had (the ones that he knows of), there was never a question, a doubt, of the mutual love and connection they share. But there were suppressed doubts and questions that he was coming to have about him and Nev. The way Nevaeh was during her diagnosis and treatment had to have been a coping mechanism. A way not to get one’s hopes up too high. Steph doesn’t know what its like to get chemo. What its like to be in a treatment room with a group of other patients. As time passes, slowly seeing each one of those people not return because they’ve died. The despair she must have felt would weigh the strongest of individuals down. And you don’t want your family, your fiancé, your friends to witness how much you’re struggling and suffering. They probably did want to see those things because they didn’t want her to shoulder it alone. This is especially true for Steph; he wanted to know these things. For her to share it with him so that they could shoulder it together. Always together. This boy was damn near in the hospital with her everyday time permitting. I understand why she’d want to hide it though.

When Nevaeh got in the car with Saanvi and chose to do the surgery, for the first time it felt like she chose for herself. She decided. She wanted to live now. Not entirely for Stephano but because she didn’t want to die anymore. She didn’t want to die without trying a hail mary. That surgery was a hail mary, last ditch effort no matter which way it went. She no longer resigned herself to death. Her decisiveness to do what she could to try and live, hell I even cheered it on. She chose this one last battle. Ironically enough, that is what Steph needed to see from her. The willingness to fight. Not just for him, but ultimately for herself. If Nevaeh had framed the surgery differently, things may have not turned out the way they did, or it may still have. By that I mean, being honest from the jump about not feeling well, being terrified of dying, wholeheartedly believing that this surgery was a chance that she needed to take. Yes, Stephano would have vehemently disagreed. His reasoning being Nev has no clue about Kim’s nefarious ways plus fear of the risks associated with the surgery. He would have tried to sway her like hell against it. Ultimately he would have no choice but to reluctantly accept her decision. He would have hated it, no doubt about it, but what could he do? His love is telling him what could possibly have been her last wish. An imminent death or the slimmest of chances for survival? Who is he to make that kind of choice for her? Not that he would. Its become evident that Nev had absolutely no faith in Steph. You have Saanvi literally begging her on multiple occasions to tell Stephano her plans. OK, you won’t tell your parents or your close friends. At least tell Steph. Nev steadfastly refused. Could one of the reasons be because it would be the one time that Steph doesn’t blindly agree to what she wants? That he would put up resistance to her? Is that such an unusual concept in their dynamic even during this extreme situation? Maybe she was afraid that she wouldn’t do it because of the pressure from him saying no? I have a hard time believing that one.

Saanvi does not have the history that Nev and Steph share. Yet this girl sees Stephano. She sees him in a way that Nev never has after all these years and countless times spent together. Saanvi, knows off the bat that being forthcoming, being honest, being true no matter how scary and difficult, is one thing that Stephano values the most. He gets that from his mom. Ashley told him once the reason she and Seb have survived this long is because they are honest with each other. He’s told Nev this time and time again in actions and words. He’s even compromised on his values for her. I’ve never really been invested in Steph and Nevaeh’s relationship nor cared for it either. I viewed him as Nev’s lapdog of sorts. I noticed some fissures mainly with how consumed Steph was with her since they were kids. They were each other’s pillars with the turmoil going in their respective families. So I accepted it for what it was. He didn’t want to lose her. He’s lost the most important women in his life: 1) his bio egg donor, Kim, through abandonment and rejection and 2) his mom, Ashley, by being manipulated by Kim, causing Ashley to nearly die, the coma, the temporary lose of her memories. So, like Roger said — what Nev wants, Nev gets. It's almost always been that way. I may be reaching, but let me add 3) Amelia. Amelia being a typical teenager, the situation with their mom, her perceived abandonment from Connor, coupled with her finding solace and destruction in Kade, moving to Europe, etc. may have all added to him feeling like he’d also lost his sister too; another woman in his life.

It is fascinating to me how the one phone call Stephano decided to answer was from Saanvi. I can imagine his friends were blowing up his phone, checking on him, trying to see if he heard any news from Nev. He’s in his bedroom, in utter darkness, barefoot, lying on his bed, still in his suit, his mobile rings, looks at who is calling and answers. Why? Why didn’t he let it go to voicemail? Is it because Saanvi was the last person he expected to hear from on his wedding day? Is it because on some deep, deep, unconscious level, it has always, always, been effortlessly easy to talk to her? Remember he had no qualms, didn’t even give it a second thought about having her meet him outside his house so they’d walk to school together one morning. I’m not suggesting anything…I’m just saying. Honestly, I don’t even blame Nev entirely for the breakdown in her relationship with Steph. Looking back, the genesis of their whole relationship was based entirely on Stephano catering to her. How can someone be upset about it when that was the standard from the very beginning? He chose to make Nev his world. That is what she was accustomed to. There’s nothing wrong with that. Just like how there’s nothing wrong with Steph finally realizing that the relationship is not serving him as it once was. Drastic circumstances took him getting to that point. If my relationship started off that way and continued that way for years on end, I would be confused about the sudden switch up. For them it wasn’t sudden though. It had been slowly building up. If they were as connected as they were, why couldn’t Nev see it? And why wouldn’t Steph admit it to himself? Steph observes every minor thing about her. This is why I say I don’t think Nev ever really saw Steph. If a couple is that in-tune to one another they will pick up on the energy shift of their partner. I never dispute the love they have or shared. However, the manner in which it was expressed left much to be desired.

Ashley and Steph have such a marvelous mother son bond. It was very brief, but I loved how she stood there and then kneeled and touched his hand as he was crying. Her presence alone was so heartwarming. I wonder if in that moment when he said, “I can’t, I just can’t” that she understood the heaviness of his words? I feel like Ashley can support him during this period. Be there in a way for him that she couldn’t for Amelia when she was that age. Seb too, now that he has some free time. The moment Steph decided he couldn’t be with and didn’t want to be with Nevaeh anymore was when he sat outside crying. Once his mom told him Nev would survive, he was done. A pivotal moment. When he was in the hotel room crying his eyes out is when he realized the weight of his decision. The years of memories of their past and hopes for their future flooding though him. I’m sure that boy cried himself to sleep. So sad. He was destroyed seeing her dead body like that. Literally, wrecked. Brought to his knees. Unfortunately, Nevaeh most likely won’t ever understand the gravity of that. On another note — Stephano better not hold any animosity towards my girl, Saanvi. Sure, he has the right to be upset. That girl was between a rock and a hard place. He better have some perspective in regards to the terrible position she was put in. Let’s not forget how he played her, and then blamed her but not really blamed her for his thoughts and actions when they kissed. Keep in mind he was the one who chose not to have anymore communications with her.

I loved seeing Amelia interact with lil sis Bella. I love seeing Amelia interact with her siblings in general. This baking frenzy she was on must be therapeutic in order to keep her hands busy so she doesn’t guzzle a bottle down due to nerves and stress. Vince must have felt awkward as hell being there with the way things went down. Yikes. How do you support your girlfriend while also politely backing off to let her deal with her family crisis? Nate’s smart mouth will definitely have something to say about this non wedding once Vince relays it back to him. That hug between Nev and Saanvi was touching. With everything going on, that was a sweet moment. Awww to baby Val and little Milo. Little Milo must have been ecstatic to see his daddy. I saw that lingering look Marcus gave Makayla as she was walking away. It was nice seeing the dogs Lucky and Rocket are still around.

Roger is A1. I’m glad someone finally posed those questions to Stephano. The only reason I think Roger was able to do so is because of what happened between him, Lynn, and Braeden. He was forced to meet other people, develop new friendships, etc. because he could no longer stomach being around his core group of childhood friends. Rita, Nev, and Steph welcomed Lynn and Braeden with open arms after a bit. Things were never going to be the same after that. Had that situation not have happened to Roger, he wouldn’t even have been able to think to ask those questions to Steph because they were all in that bubble. As sweet and sensitive as Stephano is, it’s clear that he did not/does not like to be questioned when it concerns Nevaeh. We saw how quickly Roger folded. This would have been a better conversation to have before the wedding, not the day of. Like Roger said, when it comes to Nev, things move quickly when she requests it.

Braeden’s family issues are wild. It was shocking to discover that he has not one, but four older siblings in total. Like, what?! What are their relationships like? What’s even crazier is that I thought his mother and his father separated. Especially after his office romp that Braeden caught him engaging in. They’re still together. A top notch therapist/psychiatrist able to help her clients get their lives together but she can’t even get her own in order. On the other side of delusion is greatness. In this instance Braeden’s dad is completely delusional. All this harping about family, family, and your own is in total disarray. Get outta here with that crap. One by one each of your children left the home to never return. Hello — the common denominator are the parents. How can they be so willfully blind? Super successful professionally even with the challenges of haven been teen parents, but an atrocious family life that they created. I get what Braeden is doing. He’s out of his mind though. It’s hard to even blame Chloe for leaving him to deal with it all. Brae is also delusional if he thinks he can take of a newborn all on his own. Yes, one of his older siblings gave him an empty apartment. Great. He’s still in school, the baby needs 24/7 care. Even if he drops out and gets a grocery store job, how will he care for the baby? He needs a reality check of massive proportions. Lynn may support him for awhile, but even she will get tired of it. And we know mama Lynn doesn’t play those games, so…. His mom seems to be a phenomenal therapist/psychiatrist but even she seems lost - surprisingly. Dealing with Braeden’s father all these years must have done a number on her. She seems “off” when it comes to him. Their tumultuous relationship has had lasting effects on all of their children.

Desperation is a very good word. I said this about Seb in another post and I think it applies to Steph to; Something broke within both Seb and Steph when Ashley fell off that building. For Steph, it wasn't just that Ashley fell, he was there to hear her last words, to desperately try to pull her up, and to watch her fall, not mention being betrayed and abandoned again by Kim. Ever since that happened Steph has been scared, which has led him to hold on to those he loves tightly. He also did what Amelia did with Kade and that's bury he himself and his feeling in Nev, except Steph didn't go so far as to cut off his family like Amelia did. Him making the decision to break up with Nev had to be devasting, but a relief in some ways because Nev had become too dependent on Steph, the pressure was insane

Sometimes walking away from the people we love is for the best because it gives everyone involved the chance to grow. I agree Amelia is definitely one those people that Steph could perceive as abandoning him, to be fair Amelia shut everybody out.

Nev, is definitely used to being catered to, its's been this way since she was born and princess died. The only person to really try to be stern with Nev is Bianca, and she went about it the wrong way. Would actually love it if Connor was upset with her for not telling him about the surgery. There has to be some other consequences to Nev lying to everyone. Side note: I think I know when this episode takes place, around the time of Kim's story. It would explain why that dude Clint took over from Kim, she was out tracking down members of the organization council. I think wedding is definitely before the fall finale.

Nooooooo ! That episode brake my heart ! But I understand Stephano he gives everything to her, she is his all world and he doesn’t feel she feels the same. He had to feel so lonely in this relationship. She doesn’t seem to trust him going behind his back again and again

Damn ladies.. Two minutes in and I'm already crying.. Why do you do that to me? For fucks sake.. 😭 Just when I started to recover a little bit.. I got dropped to the ground again.. Crying.. Damn.. This repeated itself like three times or so.. And now I'm downright bawling ladies.. Got only one word: Bawling.. This episode is everything.. 😭💔 - 1) Probably a lot of things, and with a lot I really mean a lot.. and to come to the decision that he made by the end of the episode, he really needed to dig deep and think deep.. To feel betrayed, to be lied to.. by the one person, the only person you love so intensly, so deeply.. that's just unimaginable.. that leaves you broken.. 2) I don't know. I'd probably wouldn't have kept it a secret, but I don't know what I would do in the same situation.. My desire to live is huge but I've never had that kind of love that Vaeh and Steph have.. so.. I guess it's fiction but still, there are people out there who have found "the one", so I'd like to believe some version of it must exist. I'd say you'll be incredibly lucky when you found it, so keep it close and never let go.. Unfortunately life is unpredictable, unfair and unapologetically fucked up sometimes.. But on the other hand, without love we wouldn't have been here.. 3) Braeden doesn't even know the truth about that little boy.. His family is messed up so I support him in distancing himself! But yes, shit will get tough.. I'm worried if he'll be able to manage without his family's support, but where there's a will, there's a way.. 4) The aftermath? Probably a lot of broken pieces.. Scattered everywhere.. I hope Steph stays healthy though, no down spiraling, I can't take my boy falling and breaking any more than he already has.. I hope for Vaeh, there is a way to come to terms with everything.. I can imagine that, when the decision that you made was all for one person and the life that you wanted to build with that person, and then lose that one person, along with the life you could have had.. Well, that's fucked.. On the other hand, she could've died though, so what Vaeh did, well, it's also a bit selfish.. 😶 I hope they both are okay.. 🙏🏻 Lots of love! ❤
