So much adorableness superbly described (and illustrated!) in the commentary. Watching Reid interact with the big and little Snyders is every bit as delightful as I thought it would be. The scene with Reid and Ethan and Natalie, with Luke beaming at his boyfriend’s awkwardness is just gold.
I used to be so irritated with the Nuke bones thrown in the honeymoon suite scene, but I’m okay with them now because we got something better in exchange. Noah is mentioned to put the brakes on intimacy (hey, it works!) and that’s annoying of course, but I’ll gladly take the mention of his name if it means I don’t have to sit through him being in a scene. I’m sure they felt like they had to bring him up so that we wouldn’t forget who he was. Luke turns away from the first kiss, which stings a little bit but after clearing the air, he really goes to town on Reid’s face, so it’s all good.
One bitter note: It’s great that the writers had Luke be the cockblocker here so that when they killed off his boyfriend he could feel regret about it instead of dealing with just plain old boring grief.
On a positive note though, they really are so amazingly adorable and the looks they give each other after Luke buys himself some time are the epitome of love. I love them.

This just breaks my heart. The whole party line that killing off Reid would help Luke grow up is so ridiculous on so many levels but the worst is that given Luke's history, it's obvious that he would blame himself for Reid's death [blackmailing Reid to come to Oakdale in the first place, encouraging Reid to go to Bay City, etc.,]. The fact that he's also going to blame himself for not being willing to make love to Reid is just an extra layer of cruelty.
