In the third episode of the first season, Maeve went to have an abortion, her brother could not be contacted, her good friend had something to do, and her friend (that is, the child's father) had a competition to participate in, so she finally chose Otis to pick her up (because the hospital stipulated that someone must be there To pick). I just didn't expect that Otis thought that Maeve was inviting him to dinner, so he dressed up and arrived at the clinic a long time in advance. The operation had not even started. Maeve was probably a little embarrassed to see him coming early. After all, abortion is not a glorious thing. Besides, she also saw that Otis was wearing a suit, so Maeve got a little pissed and told Otis to leave.
After the operation, Maeve thought that Otis had left, so when she found out that Otis had not left, she was surprised and happy, and smiled rarely, and said:
“You waited.”
Otis: "Of course."
Maeve: "Not a word."
The screenwriter and director are so amazing, in just three sentences, everything can be said without words. Maeve was moved, but she didn't need Otis to say anything at this time.
How kind and heart-warming is Otis? After he found out that Maeve came to have an abortion today, not only did he not have any prejudice against Maeve, but he even thoughtfully considered buying some food and a bunch of flowers, and waited silently throughout the whole process. , walking home, cautiously asking Maeve if he wanted a sandwich, he didn't judge the abortion or say something so-called consolation at all, but tried to say something else in hopes of diverting each other's attention , but did not expect to learn that Maeve has a drug-addicted mother and a lost brother, Otis immediately felt sorry, his stupid appearance just reflected how much he liked and cared for the girl in front of him, for fear of one. accidentally hurt her.
When the last few steps left, Maeve said there was no need to deliver it, so let's go here, but Otis insisted on delivering it to the door. He was afraid that Maeve would bleed or faint. After reaching the door, he still carefully asked Maeve if he needed it. Needing him to sit with her for a while, Maeve refused, but she who was stronger and stronger suddenly stepped forward and hugged Otis, although she recovered in the next second and said: "If you tell anyone about this, i'll kill you." But she was really warmed up.
This section is really heartwarming and touching. Although there are not many lines and the scene is not big, the most likeable and admirable thing about Otis is that he is always good at observing and feeling each other's emotions, and giving appropriate responses and concerns. The power of healing people is not lost to his mother who is a professional counselor, and it is so smooth, calm and warm.
Although they are not together this season, this is why they always have each other in their hearts, because the seeds of love have long been planted.
