c’mon, that can’t be it - >!isaac being rude and unfair to colin for days (weeks?) “just” because he was hurt colin hadn’t told him he was gay!<.

throughout the episodes i kept thinking: there must be something more, something deeper. >!when isaac showed up at colin’s place i was sure we’d get some emotional story or insight into isaac’s life. but no:!<

!“you lied to me. for years.” !<

!and:!<

!“What is it about me that made you think you couldn’t tell me?”!<

!i GET that isaac would ask himself that. but colin didn’t keep just this from him, he kept it from anyone; why would isaac feel that he should take it so personally? yes, the two of them have been shown to have some bond over bullying nate in S1, but other than that i don’t remember them being shown to be sooo close that it would justify isaac making the whole thing about himself.!<

what am i missing here?

    I think it was unsaid but close to the surface that Isaac was disappointed with himself for a few reasons. First, because he reacted in a negative, possibly homophobic way. Second, because he’d not made it clear to Colin that he wasn’t homophobic, or that he’d made it clear that he was at least slightly homophobic. And lastly, all the lines that went with what he said - he wasn’t open and honest enough with Colin to make Colin comfortable enough about it.

    His reaction was a bad one. He knew it.
