Shows get canceled every season, but some hit you harder than others. We've compiled a list of some of the cancellations that have haunted us the most of the years!

The post These Cancellations Still Haunt Us appeared first on TV Fanatic.

We've all been there before.

You fall in love with a show. You fall in love with the characters. You fall in love with a UNIVERSE. And then, suddenly, without warning, your favorite show is canceled, and you feel a tremendous loss.

Television can be a comfort to many, and when you find that show or that perfect character that you connect with, it downright sucks to know you won't get to see them anymore.

Over the years, many shows have been cut short ahead of their time.

While others may have had a decent run, with years under their belt, the cancellation can still feel abrupt, especially when they don't get to end the series on their own terms.

We've seen fan campaigns change studios' minds (we're looking at you, Jericho) and cancellations reversed at the last minute (S.W.A.T. says hi!), but unfortunately, most shows don't have that same luck.

Their cancellations sometimes led them to a popularity they never achieved while the show aired.

Adding every canceled show is impossible, as there are far too many to list. And there are no criteria outside of quality television that deserved better, as we lament what could have been.

After you've checked out our list (in no particular order), let us know which cancellations still haunt you!

Pitch

Rumors About Mike - Pitch
(FOX)

One thing you'll see repeatedly on this list are shows that came out way ahead of their time. If you put Pitch on today, it would do much better.

Dan Fogelman, of This Is Us fame, created this gem of a series, which followed Ginny Baker as she became the first woman to play in the Major Leagues.

The series was a showcase for Kylie Bunbury, who stepped into Ginny's shoes beautifully, playing the young pitcher as the emotional, confident, and slightly terrified rookie she was.

Fans will never forget the finale, which leaned into the chemistry between Ginny and catcher Mike Lawson, played by TV veteran Mark-Paul Gosselaar. They left us on a cliffhanger as the will-they/won't-they couple got closer than ever.

But outside of the popular ship, there was an earnestness to the series, which was very popular with men and women alike, though that didn't necessarily translate to the viewership numbers.

If the show were on today, with baseball's increased popularity, there would be a lot more eyeballs on the series, and it would have found its niche.

The Big Leap

Return of the Nick  - The Big Leap Season 1 Episode 11
(Sandy Morris/FOX)

Sometimes, a show comes along that fills you with joy and is so brilliantly made that you can tell everyone involved truly loved what they were doing.

The Big Leap was that show.

As with most cancellations, the series couldn't find a consistent audience, which was a shame because the aspirational story had a little something for everyone to enjoy.

A diverse cast full of extremely talented actors brought the story of a ragtag group working to put together a remake of Swan Lake to life, and those who fell in love with the series still mourn its early demise to this day.

Related: The Big Leap's Quiet Brilliance and Why It Deserved Your Attention & Viewership

This list is filled with unique series, and in the age of remakes and reboots, they're needed more than ever.

The Big Leap was a series that took a chance, and we're still saddened we didn't get to see this story through.

Roswell, New Mexico

Husbands - Roswell, New Mexico Season 4 Episode 13
(Lewis Jacobs/The CW)

This is a case of a series having a decent run (52 episodes of the sci-fi drama ran during its four seasons), but there was still story to tell about the infamous town home to aliens and the humans that loved them.

Purged during the great CW cancellation season, Roswell, New Mexico didn't necessarily get to end how it wanted to, which meant the series finale was nice but not wholly satisfying.

For starters, so much of the series revolves around Liz Ortecho, a human scientist, and Max Evans, a sheriff/alien, and the series ends with them on two different planets. Literally.

The ending wasn't all bad, with fan-favorites Malex getting married and other pairings setting sail, but the series could have used one final season to wrap everything up in a more fulfilling way.

Splitting that final season between the alien's home planet and Earth would have been monumental and wrapped the end of the series nicely.

Happy Endings

The Happy Endings Gang
(ABC/Carol Kaelson)

We were AH-MAHZINGLY disappointed when ABC canceled this ambitious and hilarious comedy after only three seasons.

This is another series that had a decent run but deserved better because it was that funny.

The cast was a who's who of young actors with chemistry like nothing we'd seen since Friends. And they deserved that kind of longevity.

We could have watched many more years of Brad and Jane navigating marriage, Max floating through life, and Penny just happy to be there.

This is one best friend group we desperately miss.

Twisted

New Secrets
(ABC Family)

Can we get some justice for Kylie Bunbury? She's got two shows on this list that deserved so much better by us.

Remember when Freeform was THE place to be for teenage drama?

Once upon a time, Twisted was one of its best, but it never caught on with audiences, perhaps because there were too many similar shows on the same network at that time.

Avan Jogia (why is he not a bigger star?) was the lead in the somewhat frightening thriller as a teenager recently released from juvenile detention. Said teenager was charged with killing his aunt, but that little factoid was only the tip of the iceberg.

Related: Cruel Summer and Good Trouble Cancellations Signal the End Is Near for Freeform

The series had a lot going on. There was the usual teenage drama that these kinds of shows highlight, but there was also deception, murder, and plot twists galore.

Perhaps because it existed at the same time as Pretty Little Liars, it could never find its audience. The two series were different but also similar in certain aspects.

Either way, the series had a fun cast and a decent premise that should have kept it on the air for many years.

The Secret Circle

The Secret Circle Premiere Pic
(David Gray/The CW)
Ca

In the era of The Vampire Diaries, supernatural series centered around teens were never more popular, and The Secret Circle came along at a time when it should have been a hit.

And it did start strong, though this was another case of a series coming in hot but then cooling off as the season waned on.

Instead of vampires or werewolves, the series revolved around teenage witches and a coven called The Circle.

Of course, there was a lot of danger lurking around the corners in Chance Harbor, Washington, and the young coven of witches found themselves battling dangerous forces while still having to go to high school.

Unfortunately, the series, based on the same name written by L.J. Smith (who also penned The Vampire Diaries novel series), never could gain the sort of widespread support its sister series did.

Still Star-Crossed

Lashana Lynch as Rosaline Capulet   - Still Star-Crossed
(ABC/Bob D’Amico)

Forgive us for not moving on from this Shondaland period drama, which never got the credit it deserved!

Period drams on broadcast television are HARD to pull off, but there was such a lightness and true romantic feel about Still Star-Crossed that it has stayed with us for some ten-plus years since ABC dumped it after a single season.

Following two of the most famous families in literary history, the Capulets and Montagues, the series had a diverse cast. They pushed romance to the forefront while also focusing on the dreams and aspirations of his large cast of colorful characters.

Visually, it was stunning, but unfortunately, critics were never sold on the Shakespearean tale or the drama that came with it.

Vampire Academy

Dimitri and Rose - Vampire Academy

Listen, was Vampire Academy the best fantasy horror show ever? No. But it was a good time and only scratched the surface of what it could have been.

The show's vampire lore, taken from the popular novel series, was engaging and set it apart from many of the vampire shows we're used to seeing.

There was action, romance, and mystery at the heart of things, which revolved around the morois, the dhampirs, and the happenings at St. Vladimir's Academy.

Vampire Academy started great but lost momentum as the first season raged on.

And you have to wonder, if they keep up the pace and excitement of the first few episodes, whether they could have been given a second chance to build their world more.

Good Girls

Bench Sitting - Good Girls Season 4 Episode 16
(Evans Vestal Ward/NBC)

Good Girls was never the hit it should have been.

The premise was wild: Three moms and their best friends robbed a grocery store to help with their various financial issues.

Related: Good Girls Series Chat: The Good, The Bad, and What Could Have Been

What ensued was four seasons and 50 episodes of plot twists, wacky shenanigans, and one of the weirdest series finales to date.

It wasn't bad, per se, but there was room to continue the story and not end things with everyone so fractured.

This series just needed ONE more season to wrap everything up and give closure to fans who rallied around this series season after season, even when things went off the rail sometimes.

Technically, this show's conclusion worked, but we're haunted by what could have been had they ended the series the way they wanted to.

Station 19

Deciding Parenthood - Station 19 Season 7 Episode 5
(Disney/James Clark (ABC))

The #SaveStation19 campaign still wages on, as the veteran series was unceremoniously canceled, catching its ardent fans off-guard.

The series will wrap up its run with over 100 episodes, which should be celebrated and appreciated.

But we can't help but wonder what new heights the show could have reached if it continued its trajectory and reached the heights of its predecessor, Grey's Anatomy.

There's still a lot of life left in this series, which leaves its cancelation all the more upsetting and puzzling.

We haven't seen how things will end as of this date, but we feel confident stating that there were still stories to tell with and around the Seattle Fire Department, and we'll never stop wondering where these characters could have gone if they'd gotten more time.

Prodigal Son

Malcolm Walks Alone  - Prodigal Son Season 2 Episode 10
(Phil Caruso/FOX)

As previously mentioned, some canceled shows over the years got a second chance at life due to tremendous campaigns put together by devoted fans.

The fans of Prodigal Son tried their best to save the FOX procedural after it was canceled, but unfortunately, a streamer never picked up the series, and we were all left to wonder what could have been.

The series finale ended on a crazy cliffhanger, with father and son Martin and Malcolm coming to blow, and Malcolm stabbing his father in the stomach. Fate unknown. It was one hell of an ending to one of the more clever television series of the time.

Related: Prodigal Son Four Years Later: Everything We Miss About The Killer Series!

There was no show like it, and no show has replaced it, as it's not easy to create a twisty, creepy broadcast drama that feels like a premium drama without the nudity and swearing.

There was something special about seeing the delectable Martin, a wondrous Martin Sheen, opposite strongwilled Malcolm, played to perfection by Tom Payne. There are a lot of procedurals on the air today, and none are as unique and entertaining as this series was.

Kevin (Probably) Saves the World

Medical Bills - Kevin (Probably) Saves the World
(ABC)

Kevin (Probably) Saves the World was kind of a perfect show.

Kevin was a guy who was down on his luck and came to live with his sister and his niece after a suicide attempt.

While trying to get his feet back under him, he was visited by a woman who told him that God needed him to save the world.

From there, Kevin was off on a quest to complete good deeds, and in the process, he learned about himself and became a better person. As the audience, we were better off from having watched such a good-natured series take flight.

Jason Ritter has been and will always be a phenomenal actor, and this was the perfect vehicle for him to show his dramatic chops and comedic timing.

It was a lovely show, with many life lessons learned each week, and more than one season was needed with the quirky cast of characters.

So Help Me Todd

Car Ride Chats - So Help Me Todd Season 2 Episode 1
(Michael Courtney/CBS)

Words can't express how sad it was to hear that So Help Me Todd would be wrapping up at the end of its sophomore season.

The CBS dramedy was actually a hit with viewers, but unfortunately, CBS had many series that were pulling in great numbers, and the delightful Todd drew the short straw.

Skylar Astin and Marcia Gay Harden was a dream duo as the titular Todd, a well-meaning but slightly chaotic private investigator, and his overbearing mother, Margaret, worked together to solve several wacky cases.

Related: Is It A Mistake To Cancel So Help Me Todd?

The series stood out as a true dramedy and could bring a tear to your eye through sheer emotions or laugh-out-loud comedy every week.

We're very disappointed we never got to see Todd get his happily ever after and Margaret settle down with the lovable Gus.

There were so many stories left to tell in Portland, and it's disappointing that we'll never get to see how everything turned out for the beautiful characters created in this universe.

Was the show who's cancellation broke your heart on this list? Let us know in the comments!

On Kevin (Probably) Saves the World Season 1 Episode 16, Kevin finds another Righteous Soul and Yvette makes a choice that will change everything. Read on!

The post Kevin (Probably) Saves the World Season 1 Episode 16 Review: The Right Thing appeared first on TV Fanatic.

]]>
What a delightful season finale for a delightful show!

Kevin (Probably) Saves the World Season 1 Episode 16 had everything that we've come to love about the series all packed into one solid hour of television. It wrapped things up nicely while leaving us with the cliffhanger we wanted the most. 

I sincerely hope the show gets renewed because, in a bleak world, this show is a bright spot. Honestly, we could all use more of this type of positivity. The show is the equivalent of a hug after a long day.

Cheers!  - Kevin (Probably) Saves the World Season 1 Episode 16
(ABC)

Kevin's hands were full during this installment. He had a new mission with a new Righteous Soul, he was the supportive friend to Yvette, and he was juggling the other women in his life. 

The case with Barry was an unusual twist that we're unaccustomed to watching on the show. Kevin figured out early on that he would find a Righteous Soul at the funeral of the man from his vision. It was fairly easy to come across a Righteous Soul at a funeral because people expect comforting hugs.

So, Kevin came across and hugged Barry early on. He lost time again and found himself in a barn wearing a kimono the following morning. The weird thing about it, however, was that Barry was by his side. 

Barry: You know what’s funny? I feel like I’ve known you forever. Weird, huh?

🔗 permalink: You know what’s funny? I feel like I’ve known you forever. Weird, huh?

It was the first time that we were able to see what happens to a person after the life-changing hug and the revelation that they are a Righteous Soul. Kevin technically had to work backward because he still had to help Barry "do the right thing." 

Barry's uncle had his own wishes for how he would be buried after he died, and Barry's family refused to listen to him. 

Related: Kevin (Probably) Saves the World Photos from "The Right Thing"  

That led to Barry and Kevin stealing a body from the funeral home and storing it in the freezer at the diner. Tell me, how does one casually agree to store a dead body for their friend? Tyler is the best friend ever. 

He's so used to Kevin's zany ideas and antics, and he's always game to oblige no matter how crazy Kevin may sound. Don't you just love Tyler? 

Tyler: Oh, real quick, what do I do with that dead body?

🔗 permalink: Oh, real quick, what do I do with that dead body?

You know who else loves Tyler? Becky. I nearly choked on my tea laughing at the two of them being so in love with one another after nine hours. 

They're planning on living together! Admittedly, Kevin made sense when he said that they were moving too fast and probably shouldn't have been moving in together so soon, but that's what being a realist will get you. 

Tyler allowed Kevin to persuade him at first, but then he realized that he had to do what he felt was right for himself. He had to make his own decision and not care about what anyone else thought. So he and Becky will be living together. Kudos, kiddos.

Love at Last - Kevin (Probably) Saves the World Season 1 Episode 16
(ABC)

Kevin was able to draw the same conclusion when it came down to his relationship with Kristin. It was only natural that Kevin would second guess his relationship with her. The way they left things off the first time was less than ideal. 

They were both so young though. Kristin knows that Kevin has worked very hard on himself since his return home. He's a good guy with a big and kind heart. 

Kristin's friends were protective of her, but it wasn't fair that they were holding on to something that happened a decade ago. It's not so much that people change, it's that people mature and grow. Kevin has certainly grown. 

Kevin and Kristin Forever! - Kevin (Probably) Saves the World Season 1 Episode 16
(ABC)

It's a small enough town where I'd imagine word has gotten around by now. They could have cut Kevin a little bit of slack. 

It's as if Kevin always has this fear and insecurity that he'll slip back into his old ways or that he will never be able to make amends for who he was in the past. This time, he almost let it interfere with his relationship with Kristin. 

While he was "out of it" he practically broke up with her because his insecurity and her friends, and her cat got to him. 

Kevin and Kristin had a long journey. At the beginning of the season, it was tough to say if they had enough chemistry to be the show's "endgame" relationship. Kristin struggled the first half of the season as a character. 

Beauty and Grace - Kevin (Probably) Saves the World Season 1 Episode 16
(ABC)

Kristin's turning point was when her mother died, and she's been great ever since. The chemistry between Kristin and Kevin has also been great since that time. Now that they're together, it's believable, and I'm invested in the pairing and their happiness. 

That's something I wouldn't have said during Kevin (Probably) Saves the World Season 1 Episode 1. The most solid relationship on the series at that point was the one between Kevin and Yvette.

It's difficult to put into words how special their relationship has become over the season. Jason Ritter and Kimberly Hebert Gregory have incredible chemistry, and it has grown stronger as the show progressed. 

Yvette: Kevin, our problems are way past you covering for me. I’m not getting any better. I was wrong. I simply can’t control myself.

🔗 permalink: Kevin, our problems are way past you covering for me. I’m not getting any better. I was…

The bond and genuine friendship that has formed between Kevin and Yvette are the best things to come out of the show. 

Yvette had a difficult time mourning Dave and also fearing that she's inadequate and incapable of protecting Kevin because of her powers being on the fritz. There were amusing moments, like how she fell asleep on the bed, and he ended up waking up on the ceiling instead of next to her. 

Related: Kevin (Probably) Saves the World Season 1 Episode 15 Review: World's Worst Domino  

Then there were creepier and concerning moments, like when she had the flowers growing and made the dead guy's eyes pop open at the funeral. 

Kevin is naturally concerned for his friend, but he doesn't want her to do very much about it because he doesn't want her to leave him. When she proposed a replacement and brought in Cindy, he wasn't having it. 

A Kevin Sandwich - Kevin (Probably) Saves the World Season 1 Episode 16
(ABC)

Leslie Jones' appearance was shockingly brief. I expected it to be longer than two minutes, but it was an amusing two minutes. 

Cindy was spooked the second Kevin spilled the beans about Dave dying. If I were in her shoes, I probably would have left too. 

Yvette is not in control of herself, and she doesn't know what to do. There is no rulebook for anything that she's going through. It's brand new territory for her. 

It troubled Yvette that she got caught on camera, but Amy's reaction was tougher to watch. She flipped out over Reese talking about seances and all of that occult business, and it went deeper than Amy being a logical scientist who didn't believe in things like that. 

Amy didn't want to believe that there could be something like an angel because then she would wonder where a guardian angel was when her husband died. I understood why she was getting so emotional, but I detested how she unleashed all of her emotions on Reese. 

Of course, it did lead to a Reese and Kevin talk, and those are the absolute best. It was a full circle moment that was reminiscent of how Kevin was able to get through to Reese better than Amy could in the premiere. 

We got two Yvette reveals for one! How awesome is that? I was a bit let down when Yvette posed as a human and sought out Amy's help the first time. 

Reese: Do you have an invisible person following you around?

Kevin: Where’d you get that incredibly stupid idea from?

Reese: I don’t know. I don’t know anything. I think I upset mom.

🔗 permalink: I don’t know. I don’t know anything. I think I upset mom.

But the show made up for it when Amy asked him about Yvette. As a quick aside, I have to ask, does anyone wonder if there is a history of mental illness in their family? 

We know Kevin has suffered from depression and suicidal tendencies in the past, but the way Amy flipped out and kept harping on the fact that she felt she was losing her mind has me curious about their parents. 

Related: Kevin (Probably) Saves the World Season 1 Episode 9 Review: Probably 

We don't know anything about the twins' parents. Amy's strong reaction reminded me of someone with previous experience with a loved one with mental illness. She reminded me of someone who was afraid that they were showing signs of something they fear is hereditary. 

Yvette: I’m, um, I’m a friend of Kevin’s.

Amy: Do I know you?

Yvette: He needs your help.

🔗 permalink: He needs your help.

Is it just me who feels that way? 

Anyway, back to the grand reveal. This development is the most exciting one of the hour!

I've been dying for Amy to be let in on the secret for a while now, and I have loved the fact that she has been a de facto Kevin at times.

This changes everything! Kevin doesn't want Yvette to leave. Yvette is still facing challenges, and the other celestial beings are of no help because they fear the same things may happen to them. 

Yvette and Kevin need help, and who better than the woman who has been helping them recently without even realizing it? It could be a huge step for Amy's faith too, which could be an interesting arc explored in the next season. 

There are so many amazing directions the show can go in now that Yvette has revealed the truth to Amy. But first, Amy has to wake up. That and the show needs to be renewed. 

It's going to suck if this sweet show isn't given a second season. So, the powers that be need to get on that pronto!

It's some of Jason Ritter's best work, and the entire cast is fantastic. The storytelling is precious. Give us another season!

The season is over, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy the show anymore. Go on, watch Kevin (Probably) Saves the World online here at TV Fanatic! You know you want to, Kevin Fanatics. 

It's been a pleasure finishing out the season with you guys. Hit the comments and let us know what you thought about the finale and the season!

It's the game-changing episode we've been waiting on! 

On Kevin (Probably) Saves the World Season 1 Episode 15, Yvette's declining condition reached an all-time high leaving us with that doozy of an ending. Will Amy and Reese finally find out about Yvette? 

Perhaps that's one of the many things we can expect from the finale! 

Entrepreneur Expo - Kevin (Probably) Saves the World
(ABC)

Once again, Kevin's kindness project of the week fell to Amy. While it burned a bit every time Becky openly admitted that she much preferred Amy's help, this has been a great way to get Amy into the fold and utilize her better throughout the series. 

Amy has continuously grown since the premiere, and the show and her character is all the better for it. Nerdy Amy is fun, and it has been a thrill watching all the ways she can display her nerdiness and flesh out as a character.  Gosh, I love Amy so much now. 

Yes, it's true that Kevin being the one to help guide others is the main purpose of the series, and that's when the show is at its best. However, I like the fact that he has done such a remarkable job that he has influenced the people around him. 

Kristin: I always sensed that you were holding back a part of yourself, but now, you seem so open.

🔗 permalink: I always sensed that you were holding back a part of yourself, but now, you seem so open.

It's how Kristin described it, his kindness towards one person can have ripple effects. He inspires the people around him to do good, too. It carries on and on. 

So, in a way, he has inspired his twin and has a role in her newfound ability to branch out and help others and often geek out in the process. Prior to his arrival, Amy was a widow in mourning and a recluse. 

As much as she was concerned about Reese isolating herself, she had done a bit of that too. Now, Amy has rediscovered what it's like to immerse herself in the small community. She has found her inner Kevin. 

It's nice that Amy was never a direct project for Kevin, but he still managed to indirectly help her anyway, much like how he helped Reese. 

So while Becky didn't need Kevin to the degree that he's accustomed to helping people, he still played a significant role in her process. 

Kevin felt guilty because he was behind the senior prank that likely had Becky facing some scrutiny, but Kristin reminded him that Becky was never a good security guard. 

What Becky was good at as well as passionate about was coming up with creative new ideas. She had an idea for everything. She was like a walking late-night infomercial. 

P'Sgetti was… weird, but Becky's passion and excitement were infectious. She had everyone involved in a matter of no time even though it wasn't their cup of tea, excluding Tyler of course. 

Amy: You know, if I saw this on a commercial at midnight, I might drunk buy it.

🔗 permalink: You know, if I saw this on a commercial at midnight, I might drunk buy it.

That's another thing that just naturally developed and was all the better for it. 

Tyler and Becky had fantastic chemistry. They both are total, lovable oddballs, and they get one another. Tyler can finally move on from the Yvette debacle, and he can be happy. 

It's good to see Tyler happy and finding a woman who is compatible with him and available. 

In fact, all of the couples are just so happy and sweet. They're all in this great place. 

Amy and Nate are too adorable for words. They're like two teenagers rediscovering themselves and love again after a dark period.

Kevin's date with Kristin was a disaster because he kept hearing that obnoxious alarm every time he opened up a menu, but it didn't change the way Kristin viewed him. 

Kristin was so sweet and supportive the entire hour. She's another character who has improved a great deal since the show began. 

I like that Kristin is so well-rounded now, and there is this warmth that India de Beaufort exudes while playing her that has led to Kristin being one of the best developments during the back half of the season. 

The scene where she reminisced about her late mother and shared how she is working through her grief, unknowingly addressing Yvette in the background, was beautifully shot and well done. It was one of the strongest scenes of the hour.

Kevin's circle of special friends being inspired by him has led to them taking some initiative and sometimes taking over when it comes to helping people. That's perfectly OK, but it has only strengthened the bond between Kevin and Yvette. 

The friendship that has developed between these two is easily one of the highlights of the series. It has blossomed each and every installment, and now, it's hard not to hold your hand to your own heart when the two of them are sharing one of their moments. 

Yvette: I lied about it because admitting the truth means admitting something I don’t want to accept.

Kevin: What’s that?

Yvette: Dave is dead.

Kevin: Oh my God

Yvette: I don’t, I don’t know what to do. This is uncharted territory. All I know is Dave is gone, and I don’t think he’s coming back.

Kevin: Yvette, I am so sorry. What can I do?

🔗 permalink: Yvette, I am so sorry. What can I do?

Their friendship is so special because it has become a real, true friendship instead of a reluctant partnership or an imbalanced work relationship.  They truly care about one another, and it shows. 

The fondness Yvette displays when she looks after him is heartwarming, and so is the gentle way he helps her navigate and sort through foreign experiences like feelings. There are no words to describe how endearing and beautiful it was watching Kevin advise, listen to, and comfort Yvette. 

Dave's presumed death has been hard on Yvette. Dave was an obnoxious character at times, as well as untrustworthy or reckless, but no one wanted to see the guy die.

Yvette is supposed to be the warrior of God, the celestial being who knows more than humans, but she's so lost right now. She has no idea what's happening, and it's terrifying for her. 

There's also the fear that what happened to Dave could also happen to her. There are so many uncertainties. It's a lot to process for Yvette and Kevin. 

She was worried when she thought she was visible to Amy. Whatever is happening to her, it has gotten so bad (is it bad? What if it isn't a bad thing at all?) that Amy could hear her walking about. 

Now, Amy and Reese have caught a glimpse of Yvette on camera.

Reese: Privacy is an illusion.

Kevin: No it isn’t!

🔗 permalink: Privacy is an illusion

It's not something that Amy can just write off, and Reese is the one who assumed something hinky was going on with Kevin anyway. Reese would be the first to figure out that Kevin was actually speaking to a person, or that the same person was responsible for breaking her fall. 

It's a game-changer if Reese and Amy figure out the truth. It doesn't have to necessarily be a bad one though. 

What has me more concerned is that vision Kevin had. Yvette can no longer protect him the same way she used to because of her limited abilities and human tendencies. 

What if it means that there is a change of plans and Kevin dies before he finds all of the Righteous? 

What do you guys think that morbid vision means? What will happen now that Amy and Reese have caught a glimpse of Yvette? What do you hope to see in the season finale? Sound off below!

As we eagerly await news of a renewal with fingers crossed and bated breath, we can watch Kevin (Probably) Saves the World online right here via TV Fanatic to relive the best moments of this special, feel-good show.

What happened to Dave?! 

The declining health and human qualities overtaking the angelic ones were in full force on Kevin (Probably) Saves the World Season 1 Episode 14, and frankly, I'm concerned for our warriors of God. 

To make matters worse, Yvette is still insistent that she and Dave keep the truth from Kevin. 

The Grand Gesture - Kevin (Probably) Saves the World
(ABC)

Am I the only who didn't realize that Tyler and Kevin were friends their entire lives? It didn't come across that way when Kevin came back into town. It felt like they were acquaintances at best. 

It didn't even appear as if Tyler was in school with the twins and Nate around the same time. Perhaps that's an oversight on my part.

I loved how their friendship quickly developed throughout the series, but it came as a surprise to me seeing flashbacks of 8-year-old and 19-year-old Tyler and Kevin interacting. 

I gather, by the hour's end, that was the point. It wasn't that Tyler and Kevin were never friends, it was that Kevin was never a very good one, to begin with. He was self-absorbed, and he took Tyler for granted for years. 

Kevin: I’m not a good friend. I’ve taken you for granted for a long time.

🔗 permalink: I’m not a good friend. I’ve taken you for granted for a long time.

Tyler is such a sweet character. On the surface, it's easy to write him off as naive because of how happy-go-lucky he is, but he knew that ever since they were kids, Kevin was a crappy friend. 

The only reason he gravitated towards Kevin upon his return was that Tyler is a good-natured person–he picked up on the dark place Kevin was in initially, but he also was attuned to the progress Kevin was making (and has made). 

As tough as it was watching these two buddies be at odds, it was an important part of the show's narrative and Kevin's character development. 

It was an unbalanced relationship, and Tyler deserved better. I respect and love the fact that he stood firm in his stance until Kevin approached him the right way. 

Yvette: So let me get this right, you want me to invade Tyler’s privacy to show you moments you were too self-absorbed to notice the first time around?

🔗 permalink: So let me get this right, you want me to invade Tyler’s privacy to show you moments you were…

Kevin went out of his way to win Tyler over with childish or impersonal gestures that came across as gimmicky and impersonal. 

The writing should have been on the wall for Kevin when he couldn't think of something that Tyler would like or a special memory that meant something to Tyler without manipulating Dave into helping him. 

In the end, all Tyler needed from Kevin was an acknowledgment that he was a crappy friend, not just that one time, but their entire lives, and he needed a promise that Kevin would do better. 

It was such a relief when Kevin finally admitted to all of that and the two made up. A smack on the lips and a bear-hug, and all was right in the world. 

Kevin and Kristin teaming up to bring back the animatronic band from Tyler's favorite childhood spot was quite entertaining. Reaper fans were probably ecstatic over that reunion. 

'Shippers were probably thrilled that Kevin and Kristin may be on the path towards a healthy relationship. Kevin's heart-to-heart with Kristin, while they were waiting for the tow-truck, may have been what finally convinced Kristin to go for it. 

Kevin is not the same guy that he used to be. It's not that he's trying to be a better person; it's that he has become a better person. It's real and genuine on his part. 

The pairing is on the right path, and I like it. Kristin has vastly improved throughout the season. She's well-rounded and more than a love interest. Now that Kristin has developed on her own, the romantic coupling feels earned.

Amy has improved significantly as well. God, I love Amy best when she's a total nerd. How could you not smile when her face lit up at the prospect of restoring robots? 

Amy's mini-rant about helping others by molding young minds and saving the environment was adorable too. She's so tiny, fiery, and dorky. I love it. 

She also took a page out of the gospel of Kevin (sorry, I couldn't resist), and helped out his latest project. 

Mark was a young vagabond with no purpose. He came across irresponsible and lost. Kevin's attempts at helping him were a bit misguided and half-hearted because he was invested in making amends with Tyler. 

Mark: It’s funny, I walked all the way over here because I wanted to yell at him, and now I kinda want to thank him.

🔗 permalink: It’s funny, I walked all the way over here because I wanted to yell at him, and now I kinda…

Mark benefited more from Amy's maternal advice and Reese's blunt honesty.  Amy recounting her own experience with Kevin was emotional. It's sad to know there was a time when the twins didn't speak to each other for two whole years! 

Thankfully, their relationship is more solid than it ever was before. In fact, most of Kevin's relationships are stronger. Yvette and Dave not included. 

It's not fair that Yvette and Dave are keeping Kevin in the dark. Yvette in particular, at least Dave wanted to tell Kevin the truth before he vanquished. 

They can't protect them if they're losing their abilities and becoming more human, and that's something Kevin should be aware of for so many reasons. Kevin relies on their abilities in various ways. 

Kevin needs to know if they can't protect him, and he deserves to know their limitations. 

Yvette has a tendency of being insecure about her relationship with Kevin. She's afraid that if she doesn't have anything to offer him, then he won't need her around anymore. 

By now, she should understand that Kevin values her as a being and he values their friendship. 

Should Yvette tell Kevin the truth? What do you think happened to Dave? Are you glad Kevin and Tyler made up? Hit the comments below!

On Kevin (Probably) Saves the World Season 1 Episode 16, Yvette makes a drastic decision regarding her future with Kevin which involves her colleague, Cindy.

Yvette went to Dave's apartment and brought back some of his things. While Kevin tells her about how humans memorialize their deceased loved ones, she falls asleep in his bed. He tucks her in and sleeps on the opposite end of the bed, but when he wakes up, he's upside down on the ceiling.

Reese and Amy show Kevin the footage of ghost looking Yvette. He pretends he doesn't know who it is and tells Yvette she has to be on high alert. 

Kevin goes to brunch with Kristin's friends, but they still hold it against him that he left Kristin all those years ago.

Becky and Tyler announce they're moving in together.

After someone delivers a funeral wreath to the house, Kevin goes to return it and discovers the guy from his vision is dead. He concludes that a Righteous Soul will be at the funeral.

Yvette's emotions get the better of her at the funeral.

Reese and her friends consider a seance.

The relatives of the deceased man bicker over what his wishes were. Kevin comforts one of the men after he gives the guy a hug, they both wake up in a barn. 

When Kevin tries to explain to Barry, the guy who he hugged, what's possibly happening, he isn't allowed to. The two are walking down the road in robes. 

Barry and Kevin part ways. Yvette reunites with him while he walks home. 

Yvette introduces Kevin to Cindy, her replacement. Kevin spills the beans about Dave dying, and Cindy is freaked out so she leaves.

Amy is upset about Reese believing in a guardian angel because that would mean her husband died for no reason.

Apparently, while Kevin was "out of it" he tried to break up with Kristin. They argue about it, but he's distracted because the body of the man from his vision is missing from the funeral home. 

Kevin tries to retrace his steps. Reese overhears him talking to Yvette and asks him if he has an invisible friend that he speaks to. 

Yvette is reluctant to go with him because she is worried about not being in control of her powers. He convinces her to come with him anyway. 

She tells him about how she upset her mother, and he gives her advice about God and believing what she feels. 

Kevin and Barry show up at the spa at the same time because they figured out where they went last. After speaking with the ladies working there, they realize that they must have buried the body somewhere as part of "doing the right thing." They go to dig up the body, but the clothes are there and the body isn't. 

While at the diner Barry and Kevin talk and Tyler reminds them that they dropped the body off in the freezer there. Barry realizes he has to stand up to his family and tell them that his uncle should be buried where he wants. 

Kevin gets stuck in the freezer when he returns the body, but he gets locked in. Yvette can't use her powers to help him, so she goes to Amy for help. Amy gets him out and asks about Yvette.

Barry successfully made peace with his family. He gives the urn to Kevin and they use it for Dave.

Yvette tells Kevin that she's still not in control, but Kevin walks away when he feels like she's going to leave him. 

Amy confronts him about the woman who came to get her being the same woman from the footage. She thinks she's going crazy. Kevin tells her the truth, but she's pissed that he's making it up.

Yvette appears and confirms everything for Amy and asks for Amy's help, but Amy passes out.

Kevin freaks out about Dave disappearing. 

Yvette distracts him by dressing him in a new suit and getting him a ferrari for his date with Kristin. While on his date, Kristin admits that she likes how open that he is now. 

Kevin can't enjoy his date because he keeps hearing a loud alarm ringing every time someone opens an interview. He has to call it quits early. 

Amy thinks she hears someone in the house. Yvette is afraid that she may be reappearing without meaning too, but Amy doesn't see her after all. 

The security guard, Becky, is fired, in part because of the senior prank happening on her watch. 

The new security guard is a former retired officer who is trying to help his granddaughter pay her way through nursing school, so Kevin feels bad about trying to get Becky's job back. 

Becky tells Kevin that she designs things, but she has never been able to make a successful product. 

Amy thinks that there are rodents in the house. Reese thinks it's a ghost. Amy puts cameras up all throughout the house. 

Becky and Tyler brainstorm an idea about spiraled ham actually being spiraled. 

Kevin wonders if Yvette is on the fritz when she doesn't stop him from being hit in the forehead with a dart in time. She proves she isn't through various acts, but he wonders why she can't find Dave. She tells him that she can't feel Dave anymore. 

Kevin suggests she consult with the other warriors of God. 

Amy offers to help Becky build a prototype for her spiral maker. 

Yvette tells Kevin that she has been lying about getting injured. She also tells him that she thinks Dave is dead. Kevin talks to Kristin and asks her how to help a grieving friend. Kristin gives advice about doing things that remind her of the person she lost. 

Yvette overhears it and acts on it when the gang head to a product convention to show off Becky's new product. 

Yvette tries to help out at the event, but she loses control of her powers. 

Becky realizes she needs to go to school. She and Tyler hit it off and kiss. 

Kevin and Yvette take a joy ride in Dave's honor. When he returns home, the lights are out, but it's a prank to scare him. When Reese and Amy go back to watch the footage of their prank, they see flickering of Yvette.

Dave is sick. He and Yvette try to keep it from Kevin. Yvette eventually starts feeling sick too. Later on, they both realize that the reason they're feeling sick is because they are hungry. They devour a pizza, but they wonder how often they'll have to eat and what it means for them that they are developing another human quality.

Dave wants to tell Kevin, but Yvette doesn't because they're supposed to be there to protect him. 

Kevin is still working on trying to get Tyler to forgive him. He makes a friendship shirt that Tyler doesn't accept. He then tries to apologize via a grand gesture with fireworks, but he doesn't realize that Tyler is afraid of fireworks. 

Finally, Kevin enlists the help of Kristin. Kristin has to prompt him to consider something that made Tyler happy before. Kevin can't come up with anything, so he uses Dave to take him through Tyler's happiest memories. 

Kevin decides to recreate the place Tyler loved going to the most when he was young. Kristin helps him out with a can of the pizza sauce from the Chuck E Cheese like place because she used to work there as a teen. She and Kevin track down the animatronic. On the way back home, the truck breaks down. They spend the night together in the back of the truck while waiting for a tow.

A young boy named Mark is who Kevin helps next. He's traveling around the country with no job and his camper is impounded. Kevin has Nate arrest him in hopes of keeping him out of trouble. 

Amy ends up talking to the kid. She helps him call his parents and head home to reunite with them.

Amy also helps rewire the animatronics

Kevin admits to Tyler that he was an awful friend and that he wants to be a better one. He doesn't want to go back to how they were before because he wasn't a good friend before. Tyler forgives him. Tyler loves the party they throw for him. 

Dave is electrocuted and disappears.

Did they just take away the best bromance on this show? 

Kevin and Tyler had a falling out on Kevin (Probably) Saves the World Season 1 Episode 13, and I don't know how to feel about it. Actually, I do know how to feel about it. I'm incredibly sad about this latest development.

But, at least Kevin find another Righteous Soul!

Ending the Fiasco - Kevin (Probably) Saves the World
(ABC)

Admittedly, I'm a bit disappointed that my theory of Tyler being a Righteous Soul didn't come to fruition. Yet. Who knows? Maybe something will come to pass down the road. 

Of course, now that Tyler is no longer speaking to Kevin, that could put a damper on things. It's shocking that Tyler has written Kevin off the way that he has It's not that he doesn't have every right to be upset, it's the fact that he's usually such a forgiving, easy-going person. 

Perhaps that's a lesson to take away from this. You can't take anyone for granted or assume you can predict how they will react to things.

Tyler is such a pure, sweet individual. He loves fast and hard, that much was shown with how he developed feelings for Yvette, but that also means he's prone to being heartbroken more. 

Tyler: After what you did to me, I couldn’t stand to look at your face for another second.

Kevin: Tyler, I’m sorry.

Tyler: No, don’t apologize. I’m glad you did what you did. Now I don’t have to waste my time with someone who clearly isn’t my friend. Not at all.

🔗 permalink: No, don’t apologize. I’m glad you did what you did. Now I don’t have to waste my time with…

When he's hurt, he hurts deep. Kevin's betrayal was the ultimate betrayal of someone like Tyler. There is no doubt that Tyler will eventually come around and Kevin can redeem himself and win Tyler's friendship back with time, but that's the thing, it will take time. 

As heartbreaking as this development is, I'm rather fond of it as well. We the viewers are fortunate enough to have seen Kevin the lovable guy trying to be a better person since the pilot. We're distant from the Kevin that everyone else knew who was selfish and self-absorbed, manipulative and careless. 

In a way, with the way things went down with Tyler, we're seeing how someone is responding to who they deem is an uncaring Kevin. We know the truth and why Kevin did what he did, but Tyler doesn't.

All Tyler can see is that his best friend essentially catfished him, betrayed his trust, and made a fool out of him. Tyler is under the impression that he's witnessing the Kevin that everyone else loathed.

Kevin: I’ll decide when to tell Tyler the truth about his lady from Laos, OK?

Tyler: What do you mean? What’s the truth about Leslie?

Kevin: About your lady from Laos. I…I am your lady from Laos.

Tyler: What do you mean?

Kevin: I was the one writing to you.

🔗 permalink: I was the one writing to you.

It's refreshing to see Kevin have to grapple with winning Tyler over because Tyler was his fresh start. He began a relationship with Tyler with a clean slate. That was taken away from him. 

But all that aside, I don't like it when Tyler and Kevin fight. I don't like seeing a sad, hurt Tyler. I don't like this one bit! 

They made such an amazing team helping Gus liven up his fish stand. The show they put on with the fish tossing was so much fun! Sure, they had help from Dave and Yvette, but Tyler and Kevin really sold it. 

Gus was a classic case of an old guy stuck in his ways. He didn't want to let go of the past and get with the times. Shay adored him; she just wanted him to update his fish stand so that it could benefit the both of them. The solution was clear from the beginning, make the old new again. 

Everyone appreciated vintage and retro. All Gus had to do was be open to marketing it appropriately. It was a success. 

It didn't appear as if this particular case would lead to a Righteous Soul so soon. At this rate, we should have close to a handful of them by the season's end. Yet, a Righteous Soul is what we have. The surprise is that it wasn't Gus, but rather Shay. 

Kevin's confusion about what made Shay so special was understandable. Why Shay? What made her so special? But Yvette's response was the best. Why Kevin? What made him so special? 

This Righteous Soul came at us fast. It caught me off guard. How about you? 

Dave's return was rather unexpected as well. How do we feel about it? Dave was a bit of a polarizing character, and he may still be after this hour. 

It's great that he and Yvette put their differences aside and that he apologized to her, but I'm still wary. Was it necessary for them to form Team Kevin again and work together? Couldn't he have just popped back in on and off instead 

Yvette's revelation that she can now get hurt was the next step after also feeling human emotion. It's like being linked to a human in the human world for so long has led to some unexpected repercussions. 

After the entire fiasco with the other angels not knowing if her quest was legit or not, she had every right to keep this revelation hush-hush. If they learn that they're vulnerable like this, they will panic. 

Is it something that just effects Dave and Yvette because of Kevin or is it something more? Dave's theory makes perfect sense, but so far, it's just a theory. What if it means something else? 

Dave: Does it hurt?

Yvette: I suppose.

Dave: Did you lick it?

Yvette: No!

Dave: Can I lick it?

Yvette: Not if you want your tongue back.

🔗 permalink: Not if you want your tongue back.

But this means that Team Kevin is starting off again with more secrets. Yvette hasn't shared this latest development with Kevin, and she should. They shouldn't keep things like this from him. 

Nate and Amy couldn't keep their sexual relationship away from Reese no matter how much effort they put into it. Boy did they put in an effort too. I'm thrilled that their relationship has progressed to the next stage and that both of them are so darn happy, but Nate could have avoided getting banged up if they didn't try to sneak behind Reese's back.

Reese is a smart kid. She would have figured it out regardless. 

Nate: Are you angry or happy it’s getting hard to track?

🔗 permalink: Are you angry or happy it’s getting hard to track?

Reese having friends to hang out with and do stupid, mostly harmless teen fun is the best. She was long overdue for that. Amy couldn't resist helping Reese out even while punishing her. 

Their exchange where she reminded Reese to tell the story exactly right to explain why she got grounded was so cute.

Kevin heads to Canada. Kevin hopes to find Tyler. 

Yvette heads to Reno to speak with Dave. He assumes she's there to gloat, but instead, she shows him that she has a cut. She somehow gave herself a paper cut.

Kevin finds Tyler working at a fish market. A vision is triggered that confirms that both of them are exactly where they're supposed to be. 

Yvette tells Dave about how she's vulnerable to getting hurt but it's not permanent. She ran a test to check it out. She doesn't want to alert the others about their new vulnerability because it could cause panic. She asks Dave to come back so that he can keep an eye on Kevin if something happens to her. He agrees.

Amy and Nate have a date. She invites him inside.

One of Tyler's customers is wearing the fishing jacket with the name of the boat in Kevin's vision. Gus tells him that it's his fishing boat. He mentions having trouble with his rent. Tyler offers up Kevin's help.

Nate and Amy wake up together. Amy freaks out because she doesn't want  Reese to find out that Nate slept over. She makes him climb out the window, but he forgets his keys He pretends like he's stopping by to make pancakes.

Kevin speaks to the woman going up on Gus' rent but she tells him that his rent is the cheapest and he won't update his fish stand like she's been trying to get him to do.

Yvette returns to Kevin. She brings Dave with her and they're happy to see each other.

Kevin tells Yvette that she can't break up with him yet because Tyler is leading him to his visions. 

Amy won't let Reese go with her friends to see the midnight showing of the Blade movie as research for their play. Her friends tease her about asking her mom. After talking with Kevin, she gets an idea about how to sneak out of the house. 

Amy and Nate agree to have another secret sleepover. 

Gus still refuses to change anything about his stand because it's how it has always been. They get the idea to make the old new again by replicating the fish tossing that they used to do at the stand. 

Dave and Yvette help Tyler and Kevin put on a show by fish tossing. It gets a crowd. They put on a whole show. 

When Dave inures himself, it causes Kevin and Tyler to injure a little girl.

Reese tries to steal her mother's truck just as Nate is sneaking into Amy's room via a ladder. She hits the ladder and causes Nate to land on the car.

Amy grounds Reese but gives her a cool story to tell her friends. She's happy that she has friends.

Gus' business is destroyed and out of service after the incident. 

Yvette tracks Dave back to Reno. She discovers that he's injured and that he was hurt last week. They figure that they're becoming more human and in touch with their humanity. 

Kevin tells Tyler that he was the one pretending to be Leslie and writing to him. 

Shay and Gus are working together to get a more vintage feel. His mission was a success. Shay hugs him and tells him he's a godsend. She's a righteous soul. 

Kevin is back home, but he doesn't remember how he got there. When he bumps into Tyler, Tyler is angry with him and not speaking to him.

Can you right your wrongs and prove to people that you are a new and better person? 

The entire premise of the show is based on that, but it was interesting to see it from a different angle on Kevin (Probably) Saves the World Season 1 Episode 12. Kevin's assignment was the Acorn Fairy, and she was pretty darn awesome.

Kevin isn't the only one who has been doing good deeds around town and making people's lives better.

Kevin's Plan Backfires - Kevin (Probably) Saves the World
(ABC)

The funniest aspect of this hour was how nearly all of Kevin's plans failed and/or backfired spectacularly.

This is a perfect way to show that he has in fact grown as a character, but he's still not without his faults and his growth doesn't mean everything will go smoothly for him. It's also a nice way to still make Yvette's guidance relevant.

Even the new and improved Kevin can make poor choices that can land him behind bars. He probably needs a reserved cell at this point because his good deeds often lead to a brush with the law. Funny how that works, isn't it? 

Nothing prepared me for the Acorn Fairy surprise. Phoebe, the Acorn Fairy, came across as too good to be true. She genuinely liked helping people, but she claimed that she preferred to stay anonymous in part because people always felt compelled to return the favor. That was a reasonable explanation for anonymity. 

Phoebe: I’m not a good person, Kevin. I’m sorry.

🔗 permalink: I’m not a good person, Kevin. I’m sorry.

It's human nature, isn't it? When someone does something for you most people do feel as if they're indebted to them. Naturally, they would want to return that kindness. It's like balancing out the universe or something. The thing is, Phoebe's explanation was probably true, it just wasn't the only reason she kept her identity secret.

In this day and age, we can't just let a good thing be a good thing.

When Kevin found out that Phoebe needed money for her dog rescue plans, he did what most tech-savvy people do, he wanted to start a crowdfund of some sort. Of course, the media had to keep on digging because a warm, fuzzy story couldn't just be a warm and fuzzy story.

In no time, they discovered that the Acorn Fairy was Phoebe, and Phoebe was an alias for her real name, and not only did she have an alias but she was also wanted by the law for embezzlement. This is why we can't have nice things.

Poor Phoebe was just minding her own business and doing nice things for her neighbors and suddenly she had sheriff's flashing lights in her face and the local news looking for a statement. 

Kevin meant well, but he screwed up that time. But what made this case special, in addition to being shocking and hilarious, was the fact that it made Kevin question whether all of his good deeds and his changed behavior was for naught.

Phoebe was like him, she did a bad thing, but she spent the next few years making up for her in her own way, but society and the court system still looked at her as a bad person.

How could he not see himself in Phoebe and question everything that he has done so far? Kevin is a changed man, and that change is genuine. He genuinely likes helping people now. He helps them unprompted.

It's not something he has to be forced into doing, and it has changed his whole outlook on life and brought so much positivity and light into his world. 

Kevin: Glenn, you have to believe me. I’m not that same guy.

Glenn: Finn, you will always be that guy. Burn. In. Hell.

🔗 permalink: Finn, you will always be that guy. Burn. In. Hell.

He's come a long way in just eight months, but there are so many people from his past who just won't see it. All they'll see is the Kevin that he used to be. That was the case with Glenn, who had some harsh words for Kevin when he called for help.

Nate, who is probably the most level-headed of the bunch and the most honest with Kevin, was able to reassure Kevin in a way that no one else could. He sees the changes that Kevin has made, and he knows that Kevin is doing good. In the end, at least he's trying which is more than most people will ever do in their lifetime. 

The courthouse moment with all of the people Phoebe helped was so wonderfully cliche, but it was so much better when it landed all of them in jail for disrupting the court. It was a true laugh-out-loud moment and a nice spin on a common trope. It did work though.

Phoebe only had to do community service which is not only something that she's already been doing, but it's something she loves doing anyway. 

We finally met Nate's ex-wife, Simone, and she was actually pretty cool. Thankfully, there was none of that cattiness between her and Amy. It was all pleasant and nice, but her presence still brought about some conflict, too. 

Simone: Dating my ex-husband looks good on you!

🔗 permalink: Dating my ex-husband looks good on you!

Amy accidentally spilled the beans about Simone being pregnant, and Nate didn't know how to react to that because as he understood it, Simone never wanted kids and he did. That's a heck of a blow. 

Amy and Nate are still at that awkward stage of trying to make the transition between friends and lovers, but they're so awkward with one another at times because everything is so new. 

Simone coming back into the picture was the push Nate needed to learn from his past mistakes. He's not the best communicator, and he and Simone didn't communicate well when they were married. They tabled the discussion about kids without ever going back to it, and it led to Nate resenting her.

The question is, will Nate come to resent Amy if she says she doesn't want to have kids? It's a serious issue, and while the romantic part of their relationship is still fairly new, it's something that they need to address at some point. Better now than after they both have fallen too deep, right? 

Speaking of deep, our boy Tyler has gone off the deep end. It should have been a sign when he envisioned breakfast talking to him. 

We know what was said in the letter that he received, and we also found out that Kevin has not only been writing to Tyler as his mysterious woman, but he named her Leslie. Kevin meant well, as he usually does, but no matter what he did, the situation with Tyler kept backfiring. 

Tyler is beyond smitten. The guy is straight up in love. Yvette was overwhelmed trying to figure out how to break things off with Tyler.

What I love is that after considering telling him that she was into girls, or crazy, or any number of scenarios, she settled on the truth. She's devoted to someone already, and that someone is Kevin. 

Tyler's emotional spectrum was vast throughout the hour (the glasses were a hysterical touch), but nothing prepared me for his quitting his job abruptly and taking off to Canada! Tyler, what are you doing, mate?!

But maybe his impulsivity will pay off because Kevin had another vision of that boat, and Tyler was on the boat helping him out. Does that mean his next Righteous Soul is in Canada? Is it possible that Tyler, himself, is a Righteous Soul? Think about, Yvette always mentions his pure soul and heart! 

What are your theories? I'd love to hear them! Hit the comments below, and let's discuss!
