3.16, “One Girl’s Trash” - The DressBex and Bowie had some really great, really sweet scenes this episode so, of course, by the rules of drama, something sad had to happen. And so it did.The whole wedding plot wasn’t the most interesting, especially in the early going of season three when it was a lot of wedding planning details – cakes, dresses, centerpieces. It allowed for some conflict between Bex and Celia and Andi but nothing too deep. (It got slightly better when the wedding got called off and the characters had to start dealing with some of the emotional fallout of all that but still struggled to really get a ton of momentum because of the necessary reshoots and reshuffling.)Bowie, for most of season three, had been in the background of the storyline, occasionally throwing his two cents in, but mostly serving as support. In fact, he served as support so much, you sort of forgot how much he really wanted to marry Bex.So it leads to this crushing moment where he sees her and the wedding dress, and the emotional wall he’d built to shield his true feelings about the matter crumbles. He’s barely able to hold back tears as he talks about how much he really did want this. The line about Andi eventually wearing the dress is both a sweet, sad line and a nice way to show how much he’d been thinking about this whole thing. How he’d been envisioning their future together.The scene makes you realize what a tough situation he was put in. He wants to marry Bex, but that’s a two way street. She’s got to want it, too. He wants her to be happy, but he has to sacrifice much of his own happiness for that.It’s a very emotional scene and Trent and Lilan do an excellent job with it. -- source link
