I don't think he planned it either. I feel like he was just in the moment, and it seemed right...he couldn't think of a better way to show her how he feels, maybe.
It actually surprised me, beacause I was prepared to wait seasons before he would speak to her, and I really didn't want them to rush it. When I read spoilers saying he spoke, I was happy yet sad because I didn't think it was the right time. That being said, when I watched it, it didn't feel forced, or rushed...it was just perfect, and exactly what Bay needed. Points for the writers!
-----
Regina, I ALWAYS loved. I love how strong she is. She is a fighter. I also appreciate how stronly she defenRAB her daughter (Daphne)...she's a good mother, despite her mistakes.
Melody, I liked and still like. I wish she approved of Bay, but I also like that she is looking out for her son, like any good mother would. I do feel like there are better ways of going about it, tho.
Kathryn, I always liked too. I feel sympathy for her because she seems to always be overshaddowed by John and his arrogance and temper. She deserves better, I feel. She did, like she said, get lost in the shuffle.
Daphne...used to like her and now I hate her. I don't think she can be redeemed, IMO...at least not for me. I hope I'm wrong tho.
Bay I didn't really like at first and then after Ty left...I think episode 5, I started to like her. Then her scenes with Em made me LOVE her, and I don't think anything could change that.
I think Emmett is the ONLY character that I have consistantly LOVED and adored through the whole ten episodes.
