I'm also very curious about that clip. It's not something Happy has ever done before (even when they were married!) I wonder if Toby's put her up to it for some reason, or it might be a plan that Toby and Walter have cooked up between them? The reasoning is a total mystery to me, though. Why would they want to deliberately annoy Paige?

FoxPhile

I also wonder if maybe Paige is making more of it than it is. Maybe she's a bit over-anxious about her ability to hold Walter's interest - since she is not a genius - and so she sees any time that Walter spends with Happy as a threat. Like maybe Happy is filling a void for him that she can't.

WeBuiltThePyramids

Yeah, that's very true. I'll be interested to see what it's about, because I'm sure we'll find out within the episode. Stuff they're going to flesh out over multiple episodes usually aren't as front and center right away.

I feel like something is cooking behind Happy's constant presence on Walter and Paige's dates. It could be that Walter asked her to observe them..., but if that's the case, I would have thought she'd be discreet about it. Or maybe Toby put her up to it for some reason... But, again, I feel like she wouldn't care enough to invade Walter and Paige's personal lives. I doubt she's trying to sabotage their relationship because she's one of the ones who pushed Walter to confess his feelings to Paige so that wouldn't really make sense.

So it's interesting... and puzzling.

Heck, maybe Ralph put her up to it . Maybe Ralph is worried for some reason about Walter and Paige and asked Happy to follow them.

FauxDetective

These clips certainly are intriguing. The first sneak peek does seem to suggest that Walter could be behind it, but I'm just not sure. For some reason, I have a feeling that it's going to have absolutely nothing to do with Walter or Waige at all and that Happy is actually trying to spend more time with Paige. We got a hint in the last episode that Happy is starting to think about motherhood again. Last season, despite being excited at the prospect of having a baby, Happy was apprehensive that she might lack the skills necessary to be a good mother, since she never had one herself. So, what if she's clumsily trying to strengthen her friendship with the one mother she knows and is just sort of oblivious to the fact that she's become the third wheel in Paige and Walter's relationship?

Cyclone139

That's a very good thought! We saw Happy go with Paige to collect Ralph from school when she thought she was pregnant before, so this would make perfect sense and tie in with the baby theme started in the previous episode.

I like this theory!

FoxPhile

That is a great theory, Stef. Great irony to think that Paige would get bent out of shape thinking Happy is spending a lot of time with Walter when it's actually Paige that Happy is trying to get closer to.

And then when she finds out she's all flattered and wants to spend more time with Happy leaving Walter to be like "......"

I wonder if we'll get more of Elyes' musical talents?

WeBuiltThePyramids

I saw that! I wonder what episode that's going to be - if he's teasing the episode next to air, what they're currently filming, or the one they're currently casting for.

FoxPhile

I sort of hope they have him play an instrument.

WeBuiltThePyramids

Me too because Walter attempting to connect with Paige by playing an instrument would be the actual cutest thing.

WriterFreak001

Maybe he'll surprise us all and play the piano or a guitar (since we know Elyes is an excellent guitarist.) But in this case, Walter doesn't play so well, but the thought of him wanting to connect with her through something she adores is what makes Paige love him more.

Edit: I want to see Walter attempt a Ukulele.

Cyclone139

Yes! Somehow I can see that being the perfect instrument for Walter. I really hope Elyes gets chance to show off some more of his musical ability. Walter could easily learn the basics of playing an instrument quite quickly. Of course he probably wouldn't understand that he also has to have an emotional connection to the music, at least not straight away, but Paige would teach him that.
