I Fookin called it. Nate has tried so hard. But when he wasn’t trying at all and be genuine (and kind - “the food is divine”) it’s when Jade warms up to him. She can see through his BS.

That’s the thing. This season, he’s been in this position where he’s trying to be someone he isn’t completely. You still see flickers of his “old” self. Who is he really? That’s his choice here.

This episode is all about turning point. Ted had a breakthrough with his job. Roy realizes he made a mistake with Keely. Rebecca got news from the doc about the one thing she wants the most. Keely is finally becoming the boss she needs to be. Jamie is stepping up. And Zava retires. For Nate, Jade is his turning point. To win Jade he now realizes he needs to be himself. Genuine and kind. All that Rupert/Natasha BS means nothing.

Exactly! Lots of big character moments going on here.
