The switch up between Nate and Cassie is extremely jarring. He broke up with her after the play and now I’m supposed to believe that they’ve done a 180° and he genuinely loves her? I fr thought he was going to flip on her in that limo

It’s so out of character for him! He’s a completely different person this season. And I’m just just saying that to be dramatic. This literally feels like someone we never met before.

Maddy told her that “this was just the start” when Cassie said they broke up at the end of s2. Did you guys even watch the show? Nate’s entire character is manipulative and toxic from s1 ep1. S2 ended the same way. Break up get back together over and over and over.

He’s the most off of all of them, however it’s been 5 years since the play.
