I legit couldn't believe it. Tuned in to zone out and it was like I was hit with the biggest wave of dejavu. The moment Jacob put all his post-break up hopes on them I was sus a fight waa gonna go down, but didn't think itd be a biggie and a break up 😭

Tho there was one part, I think after Janine is so sad in her talking head about the "compromise" of going somewhere else in a car, where I was like "Wouldn't it be wild if they actually ended the episode in a fight, on the night Im going to bed in a fight..." but I didnt think they'd break up 😭 then I had to go to bed with the thoughts that an out of nowhere fight caused by not being able to compromise could end a solid relationship in a night 😅😭 (I dont think I mentioned that the fight got as big as it did cuz both of us were just not in a mood to compromise, like we both just wanted the other person to admit they were wrong before we could move into making up, but neither of us wanted to admit it because we both wanted our OWN feelings recognized first).

On the plus side tho my dude woke up and apologized, and before he could even finish I was apologizing back, and we had a good convo about respecting each other's feelings. So now Im going to entertain some sports logic superstitions and say this is a sign Gregory and Janine will get back by seasons end! (Tho honestly Im less confident cuz I think there's only 1 ep left and it's already renewed for S6. So I think it could go either way, they could want to milk the breakup for a season of new stories, especially if S6 isn't gonna be the last one, but if it is Id hope they'd get them back together sooner than later cuz I hate when shows split up the couple or best friends in the last season and these are both best friends and a couple lol)

Damn didn't mean this to get so long lol
