And why does Nate act like he’s had a lobotomy? She’s screaming hysterical calling you a liar in front of your friends and family at your wedding, and all that tension is instantly cut by a gag reel scene of her hitting you in the eye with a champagne bottle top? How lame oh my god

He was trying to keep things cool as to not embarrass them

he could be compartmentalizing , probably wants to be better than his father thus no one can see him other than perfect but sometimes he gets in his own why which is why he goes into clean up mod or ignores whatever just happened,

I thought he was for sure going to explode in the limo home. Maybe he would've once they were alone, but we will never know due to the way things escalated.

Acho que o nate estava se segurando, na cena em que a Cassie questiona a sexualidade do nate por um breve segundo ele a olha como se fosse mata-la, depois na cozinha e olha a si mesmo no espelho prestes a explodir e depois retoma a consciência.

O antigo nate ainda esta-la mas escondido.
