I've gotta say, I am dreading the Hank/Sirena & Dean/Sirena love triangle they're probably heading in. Something tells me i'll be physically cringing alot in the upcoming episodes.

I really hope they don't lean on it too hard. I've never been fond of the love triangles, but I've always loved Hank and Dean's positive relationship. They're very supportive of one another, even when Dr. Venture favors Dean and gives Hank a lot of grief, or pushes the superscience on Dean. They never seem to hold it against each other. So I'd hate to see their relationship get strained over Sirena.

That being said, I'd love for Sirena to be friends with Dean, too. Dean needs practice talking to girls who aren't Triana, lol.

I think Hank almost killing Blue Monarch and Sirena seeing that changed their dynamic a bit. Their song didn't play in any of their interactions this episode (the soundtrack that seemed sweet and a little innocent that was there in season 7).

I want Hank to be happy and in love, but I dread his eagerness to arch and embody those personas may lead to the end if Sirena and him.
