And it's still a very good episode. I disagree with a lot of the comments here. The last scene was beautifully acted and filmed (with the shaky camera movements showing the vulnerability of the characters). You can feel Up emotions and breakdown. He is such a great actor ! As for the confusion some of you felt at the end of the episode, I don't think it was that illogical...
Gene's reaction was quite expected considering the situation. How can you trust someone who's fooled you, someone you've basically let into your home and your heart ? There seems to be a problem with Gene's dad too. And Gene is afraid of everything, confused about his own sexuality. He didn't think his love interest would be so close, and in his inner circle at that, close to his family and friends ! He doesn't want his family to know !Just like he wasn't ready to tell something so personal about himself in front of his school "friends" ?
As for Nubsib' silence, I think now he was waiting for Gene to give him permission to give his reason. Just like he has always done until then. And guess what, Gene haven't given him this time his "consent", even when Nubsib was trying to reach him with his hand...That's why you have the "silence"...
I still think this is a great series. I don't understand the (too) literal point of views of some here. Too bad. Because a lot of you miss the subtlety this show has.
I guess it is difficult to be an introvert and a sensitive person in this society...lol -facepalming- And let's not talk about the people who absolutely want them to be cousins, half-brothers whatever...
We know that Auntie can simply be friend, but it can also mean AUNTIE... I highly doubt Gene & Sib are meant to…
I guess it's a matter of personal taste and they can't please everyone....but I prefer this episode to the previous one. The last scene was very gripping. But I like to feel frustrated lol My only complain is : I want to see more Nubsib and Gene ! Ep.4 and Ep 2 are still my favorite episodes for now.
The problem isn't Gene feeling betrayed, it's Sib staring at him for half an hour instead of just explaining and…
I think it can make sense though ? If you have a reason you cannot tell or aren't able to tell ? If you're really insecure and not that confident ?
In fact there are many reasons....I'd understand the criticism if the reason given does not seem valid enough (though it can be debatable). But is it not too soon (as usual with some of you here) to judge this part of the series since we don't know that much Nubsib' reasons and background ?
I didn't think it was "weird" and frankly speaking I still really don't understand the problem some of you seem to find EVERYTIME with this series...
It's so upsetting that they didn't talk it out... and what's the reason?!
Maybe...he has a reason...but he cannot tell it (and was struggling to do so) ? That's why you have that "staring"...It means Nubsib is not that confident. That will also explain why he lies to Gene in the first place perhaps ?
Is is that hard to understand ? Gene felt betrayed , taken advantage off , lied and fooled. Especially for an introvert who has just started to open his heart....Haven't some of you also criticize somewhat the manipulative side of Nubsib since the beginning ? That's it. Here you have the consequences...

Yes, it happens in real life too. So it is not a cliche for everyone. Not everyone is like you. Please respect the experience of others.
Apparently Raf has blocked me just because I won't agree with him lol
PS2 : For Raf, "Hate" is quite a strong word though....I think I was quite respectful in my words and not agressive ? Ah well, too bad.
