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 dunno if I just picked up on really subtle clues or something that wasn’t even there but it was clear.to me that Issac and Colin were more than just coworkers and teammates and were close friends.

    I’ve seen it with friends and family when someone does come out to have the reaction and thought of “was there something I did to make them feel like they couldn’t tell me?” Obviously coming out is generally more an internal battle, and even if Colin was 99% sure his buddy Issac would be supportive, that 1% is terrifying.

    Issac was projecting his own disappointment in himself to not read his friend better, to not have outwardly made it clear he was at the least not homophobic and at the most a strong ally. Colin was terrified of coming out to anyone on the team, Issac was feeling guilty.

      I don’t think you picked up on anything that weren’t there, because the show played it as them being close friends.
