Is it bad that I’m… sorta glad this song wasn’t connected to PD or Pearl, or any sort of major big reveal? I’ve missed the episodes like this, the ones that slow down and take time. It was almost refreshing, a breather.
And when the strums of “escapism” started to play and it turned to Greg, playing, my heart… if anything, it’s a song connected to Greg. His struggles with his unaccepting family, a hinted at past that seems so small in comparison to what Steven’s going through, but is still mirrored. A song of longing, to be where one belongs.
