It’s a grilled sandwich with tuna salad (canned tuna, mayonnaise, raw red onion, usually yellow mustard and relish (pieces of pickles with sugar)) + cheddar cheese. Once it’s grilled the cheese melts, where it gets its name. So yes, a very veeery questionable choice for breakfast.

Franky

as an italian i have to ask, what's a tuna melt?

Ivan

Hayden is Shane’s best friend and his Metro’s wingman so they spend a lot of time together. I get it he may sound a bit cringe but you need to remember he doesn’t know Shane is gay. He’s trying to set-up Shane because he wants his best friend to be happy as he sees from his point of view. I think Hayden is an endearing character albeit a bit clueless.

Beck Huston

It isn't morning. He didn't stay over. He says I have a meeting in the h e morning

LOVING THIS REAACTION AAAHHHH

Мисс Ви

I felt sad bc I think the guys didn't notice the first names thing, and how important it was to Shane's freakout bc they were talking about smth else during that scene :( lol

Jennifer Colstad

I just want to thank you guys for watching this because I didn’t want to watch it by myself. I knew something sad was going to happen and I didn’t want to watch it alone. As absolutely wierd as that sounds. I also want to say the hand in the pants?? What is that? And did Ilya wash them before he touched the food? I also noticed that Shane ate the tuna melt even though he is on a special diet! I wondered that as he was eating the tuna melt. In the first episode when he goes to that other players house he tells the friend he eats a special diet? It’s very sweet that he eats the tuna melt without saying anything, just appreciating that Ilya cooked for him. I also noticed that Ilya had a bunch of ginger ale for Shane in the fridge. Something he knows Shane’s only drinks.

Libs

So I just watched a reaction where the person pointed out that while Shane and Ilya were making love on the couch, they were breathing into each others’ mouths…….WITH. TUNA. BREATH. I don’t understand how that’d be tolerable even for pro-tuna people 🤢.

Adrian Camposeco

Will not tolerate ANY tuna slander.

Jennifer Z

Im a slut for a tuna melt but neverrrrr had one before noon lol. This series is so good <3

Ronnie Lee

Hayden DID say "when are you gonna join me in this nightmare" 🧐hmmm

Maria Stoycheva

oh, I got a hint that he was an important figure connected to hockey in some way but it didn't occur to me to google exactly what. thanks!

Caitlin Graham

Never been happier to be a subscriber, babes 💜 thank you for this journey!!

AJ

Is it just me or did Shane get Rose pregnant at the end? …. Is that where the story is headed?

SCD

I've really been loving this show, and also consistently wondering "is this show objectively good or just trashy but really, really enjoyable? And also where is the line between 'objectively good' and 'trashy but fun'?" And after this episode, I've concluded that this is objectively good television. (I genuinely loved that early-2000s-CW music cue at the end. They really shot the moon with that melodramatic, teen-drama-adjacent vibe.)

skmj

The way I would’ve been bricked up regardless of sexuality if Shane was riding like that. I couldn’t be an actor

SCD

If Rose's butt in that last scene did absolutely nothing for Shane, the man is definitely 100% gay.

ilram07

I think the song choice is perfect because Tatu was my childhood (I was 10 when the song came out) and it was the first time seeing girls kissing each other (even if it turned out to be fake among the singers later). And it's a Russian band of course. And the lyrics are just perfect about Shane and Ilya fighting with the secrecy and their feelings.

Libs

Idk about anyone else, but this episode hits really deeply as a bi person. You know biphobia exists, but assume the queer community will love and accept you when you come out to them. But the experience is often the opposite, especially with a same sex partner. They suddenly look betrayed—often passive aggressive—and become distant in a way that didn’t exist when they assumed all your exes were same sex (like Shane 😭). All your feelings for them are suddenly not trustworthy, even when you tell them they are what they seemed to be ten minutes ago…

K

Also notice how when they're in bed together Ilya is already awake? He's just enjoying laying there spooning with Shane. He doesn't shift until Shane wakes up then he's back to the fuck buddy behavior.

K

Notice how the episode ends the opposite of how it began? From Ilya out at the club with women while Shane is home alone to Shane out at the club with Rose while Ilya ends up home alone.

K

Thank you for being able to turn around an episode so quick. You should give tutorials to some of these other reactors.

Libs

I don’t think so…I think he was just trying to come out as bi once their actual relationship started to grow. And since he and Shane had had a purely physical relationship for so many years, he didn’t realize how monogamous Shane is.

K

So many subtle things happening. Like Rose's friend Miles went straight from flirting with Shane to trying to pull Ilya without knowing that he's down bad for Shane and Ilya knows Miles is in Rose's crew because he's been tabloid stalking Shane's relationship with Rose's and that is how he knew to instantly turn around searching for Shane.

Libs

Sorry girl but I’m camp lock them up and make mouth wash mandatory if they want to reenter society 😂

K

Ilya was trying to egg Shane on talking aboht women to try and make him jealous. He already knew he was falling to Shane but he was trying to feel Shane out to see if he felt the same way about him. Shane was feeling jealous but he's afraid because to admit to himself how he's feeling about Ikya. That's why when Ilya said his first name that broke a boundary of intimacy and feelings that Shane wasn't prepared for. Ilya sitting there saying "Hollander" to make up foe saying "Shane" is so heartbreaking.

Libs

Yes 10000%. I think that he just wanted to come out as bi once he was finally ready to graduate beyond sex and open up. Then, he unexpectedly saw how negatively Shane reacted to learning about Svetlana vs learning about Sascha, and wanted to talk about it, but didn’t know how.

K

The guy who shows Ilya the pap photos of Rose and Shane is played by Harrison Browne, a former professional hockey player and transgender man! He came out in 2016 and retired the following year so he could start taking hormones without running afoul of NWHL doping rules. He’s a big figure for the Canadian trans community!!

Ellie

ok actually tuna as a bad omen is really checking out for me

Frenchie R

Shane trying so hard to be what he thinks he's supposed to and breaking both their hearts in the process. That last shot of both their faces with "this is not enough" said over and over is pure cinema.

Chrissy

The ending killed me. Seeing what you both want but then seeing each other with other people? I’ll go cry for a week now 😭 That they saw each other only when they “finished”. Whenever I see Shane battling with himself, I’m always just thinking how EXHAUSTING it must be to be in your own skin but not be who you truly are. I need next weeks episode immediately. These boys have me in a chokehold. And Ilya continues to be more gorgeous every damn episode. Sidenote: Conner had said that the song playing in the club, All the things she said by T.A.t.u would be a good song for Ilya and Shane….he had no idea it was actually used for the episode until filming.

Chrissy

And that Shane asks for ginger ale in the episode after having it at Ilya’s house, but no one has any and it’s literally a point to “Ilya is the only one who has what Shane needs”

Chrissy

That Ilya called him Shane instead of “Hollander” for the first time and then Shane said “Ilya”, was huge. A new level of intimacy and opening up we haven’t seen from Ilya….but then Shane internally panicking that this means more and him not knowing how to process that, has Ilya saying Shane’s last name again, as like a take back. But the feeling is Ilya saying Hollander is really him saying “stay, stay”. You can tell by ilya’s face he’s in deep. A lot of people say Shane fell first, but Ilya most definitely fell hardest first.

Libs

I’m already pregrieving for the heartache and doom Rose will feel when she realizes that the most emotionally developed, supportive, interesting, hygenic, beautiful on the inside etc. man she will **ever** date is Kinsey 6 gay 😭.

Kate

My fave episode yet! Mostly because for most of it I was screaming JUST TELL EACH OTHER YOU’RE CATCHING FEELINGS YOU IDIOTS. The mutual pining, the first name freakout, the jealousy, and that perfect club scene with the perfect tAtU beat drop. What a shoowwwwwww *chef’s kiss*

Petty Pumpkins

She truly does give off old Hollywood vibes!!!

Petty Pumpkins

Oops

Kelly

😭no cuz the fact that they put in Shane riding Ilya like thatttt

Crystal

I don’t feel like Ilya started talking about girls to play games with Shane. My take was he was trying to open up and have Shane open up about who they are to connect deeper. That’s why he says I never see you with girls and explains the relationship he has with Svetlana. He wants Shane to know he does like girls but the relationship he’s in is just friendship and he likes him. And he wants Shane to talk about himself being gay. Shane is so in his head tho he misses it and puts his guard up, kindve like when they were on the rooftop and he’s asking Ilya what his problem is and he says he’s going home, and it completely goes over his head that’s the problem and thinks he’s being dismissed. So when there on the couch rubbing their hockey sticks together lol Ilya is so touched he asked about his dad and into it he let’s his guard down and calls him by his first name. But it get’s too close for comfort and Shane bolts and Ilya is hurt. It’s just situationship miscommunication 101 with the added layer of Shane accepting himself and the secrecy. Total shit show and IT’S DRIVING ME INSANE TALK AND LOVE EACH OTHER WTF

Kelly

Girl I’m sat. Been tryna avoid my phone but IM SCAREDD N READY

Lavender Violet

I think the whole Rose/Shane arc along with the club scene was even more devastating to watch than it was to read. 😩

Holly

Tuna melts are not the problem, stupid boys who don’t talk to each other are the problem. I vote tuna for the Pumpkin House. Sorry, Wes. 🤣

Tom Bendall

So many lovely details in this episode. Everyone makes fun of Shane for ordering ginger ale, but Ilya knows it’s his favourite and went out and bought it ahead of time just in case Shane agreed to stay and wanted one. Meanwhile, Ilya has to beg everyone in his life to care about his dad, even having to pay his brother to care for him, but Shane asks how he’s doing off the back of an overheard conversation in a language he doesn’t even speak. They care about each other so deeply.

Amanda Hill

Y’all probably noticed this in editing, but while I do agree Shane started to posture the second Ilya mentioned women, I think Ilya was just opening up to him, then when they were intimate after that Ilya called him Shane instead of Hollander, and then Shane called him “Ilya” and then proceeded to panic. Shane fell first but Ilya fell harder in my opinion. The fact that the second Ilya saw Miles he froze because he’d been obsessively watching videos about Rose and Shane, he knew if Miles was there, Shane was. The club scene was just perfection honestly.

Rachael

Hayden is so cute

Anaïs

Put some respect on Hayden pls

Rachael

The adrenaline i felt watching this episode. I felt like i just did a line of c*ke

Anaïs

Amanda Caroline

My night just got 10000x better 🤗 I’d give anything to have more episodes of this show alreadyyyy This episode was so frustrating to watch. One of the most well done shows I’ve seen in a while. The drama is everything 💯

Anaïs

The club scene changed me forever

Beck Huston

Nooo! You talked over them calling each other Shane and Ilya. That is what freaked Shane out.

Elina

During the scene on the couch, Shane panics because they are calling each other by their first names, which they have never done before. This new level of intimacy makes him freak out.

AG
