  Summary

  Shauna wasn’t scary, not really. Not when you had nothing to be scared of. Sure, she was angry, and blunt, and terribly avoidant, but Shauna was also truthful; a realist who couldn’t afford to set her hopes too high and keep her walls too low.

  And Melissa, who spent more time analyzing Shauna than she did herself, was convinced she understood her, that she could actually reach beneath the shell that she protected herself with.

  —————————————————

  TLDR; The season 3 episode 2 ending written, extended, and exploring the characters a bit more.
