So much good stuff especially in the second half!
ALSO...the fact that he broke Carson OUT OF PRISON for her. And he also drank fake poison for her. And he was the one who was there when she learned her parentage.
ETA: It's also interesting to me personally how closely tied Ace is with Nancy's Hudson lineage:
- He was with her when she learned her true parentage
- He encouraged her to talk to Ryan about the ritual in 1x17 and then helped her perform it when she couldn't continue.
- All their angst in 2x01 / meeting with Everett
- Encouraged Nancy to make-up with Carson because of the Hudson parentage twist in 2x02
- Tempe's name came up during the whole wedding dress fiasco, specifically in his scene with Ryan (and Bess)
- He was the only one who noticed she was different because of the Wraith: Temperance Hudson's monster
- And he was the one who held her hand when she was getting rid of the Wraith.
- Called out Tempe for being Myrtle in 3x01
- The scene in 3x05 when Nancy was joking about Tempe taking more of her blood
- All the stuff with the liminal space and how Temperance was a big part in rescuing him and Hannah
- All the Lev stuff pushed him to confess his feelings
- He had the fourth piece of Charity's soul, Temperance Hudson's daughter
- The hallucination Tempe gave Nancy regarding her and Ace
- And him and Nancy were cursed BY Temperance Hudson
- He's also pretty close with Ryan HUDSON and even dated Ryan's sisster-in-law.
