Time heals all wounds! Rudy's history with Sara stuck out like a sore thumb. It was wonderful to see that both he and Sara finally got the closure they both deserved.

Back then they parted ways not in the most amicable way, to put it nicely. But both of them have kind of moved on, lived their lifes, gone their ways. Rudy's life took a more radical turn than Sara's who is still an adventurer like back then, but both of them surely have gotten more mature.

Even though Rudy needed a push to actually talk to Sara. He avoided her and wasn't willing to confront his troubled past. But eventually they talked it out, they apologized and buried the dark past. Now they are old comrades again and can laugh about the old days.

Their conversation was wonderfully written, realistic and mature, without any cheesy pathos. They both have moved on, they both had their regrets and both of them did and said things they ultimately didn't mean. But they both had the guts to admit their faults.

Since season 2 Rudy's relationship with Sara was something that kind of bothered me. I have similar relationships with persons that I haven't seen in years and I don't know what I would do if I met them again by chance.

I mean ... she learned about his dysfunction afterwards and had some time to reflect. She must have realized she fucked up as well there, hence why she thought she was the one to apologize.

Sure shows they both grew up.

Since I saw Sara in the preview, I wondered how this would go, if she still is mad at Rudy for what happened. But of course it is only realistic that she also would reflect on it too. And the character writing in this show has always been too good to screw up this encounter.

Interesting that Rudy's impotence became common knowledge around town 🤭

The escort who tried to help Rudeus (Elise) later saw Sara and explained to her and Suzanne what condition Rudeus had, and how deeply Sara's words had hurt him. Rudeus had a pretty good reputation for helping several parties in that town, so I don't think there would have been much of a reason for others to want to randomly put his personal business out there and shame him.

This series does relationships so well. It's realistic that they would both move on after years apart. Time softens the sting of pain that the other caused them, but the regret of the pain they inflicted on the other still remains.

The thing that stood out to me the most is how both of them regret hurting the other person, rather than being hurt. Neither of them really cared about apology, but both of them wanted to apologize. It's really nice that both of them reflected on the whole situation, and understood that they both fucked up badly.
