• Episode 1 shows us how salty Cairo reacts when he genuinely loses shortly after he does his outro for his stream viewers. Come Episode 2, we see how he's happy enough to be dancing after thinking he ended the call with Gavreel. It's not a stretch to imagine he lost to Gavreel on purpose because he didn't want to openly accept being courted. True Tsundere indeed!
• Cairo has been saving, cataloguing, & rewatching video calls with Gav since their very first call. This indicates that he's been smitten with Gav ever since they met.
• One of Cairo's Vidgram stories in Episode 6 has him answer the question "What's the most difficult thing to admit?" with "When I know I'm wrong". He could be talking about his struggle to apologize to Gavreel for what he said about his grandmother. He could also be talking about when he ran away in fear when he was outed to his family. His father got sick of COVID-19 looking for him.
• If you're wondering how Gav knew to check Cairo's Vidgram stories with the hint "The party is exclusive to my friends", it's because Instagram (and most likely Vidgram in-universe) has a feature where only your close friends can see a particular story (indicated by the green border around Cai's profile photo).
• On the topic of Vidgram stories, consider Terrence's. It's been over a year and he's had a girlfriend after Gav, but moments with him are still his Vidgram highlights. This is the first clue that Terrence is not over Gav at all.
• While beating around the bush regarding his doubts with Gav, one of the things Cairo asks Pearl is if she felt betrayed when Gav told her he didn't like girls. This might sound out of context with what they fought about. That's because it is. This shows that the trauma from being betrayed by his former best friend, Risa, still haunted him even amidst the fight with Gav.
• In Episode 7, Gavreel answers Cairo's call while in the shower. Clearly he didn't want anything like the end of Episode 2 to happen again.
• Episode 7's title ("Elephant in the Room") In-universe, refers to Pearl & Gavreel asking verbal confirmation of Cairo's feelings. However, this is not much of a mystery for us viewers, who are privy to some of Cairo's thoughts. An even bigger elephant would be the full truth of Cairo's family situation, which has not been given central focus, but was present since the very first episode. Why is there a rift between his older brother? Why does he keep apologizing to his father? Alternatively, the COVID-19 Pandemic has always been present in the background, but never the focus. The death of Cairo's father brings to the forefront the ultimate fate for a lot of people at the time the show was being filmed, and for some settings, probably for the foreseeable future, if the virus is not contained.
• Gav nearly breaks down again in this scene. Could it be that Cairo is also seemingly waiving goodbye to his general direction, and not just the records he's packing? Excellent scene composition!
• In the buildup before the Big Damn Kiss in Episode 13 does anyone else get bridal veil feels when Gavreel removes Cairo's facemask?
• The confrontation at the bench in Episode 13 starts out really tense when Cairo looked at his watch, seemingly impatiently. Was Gavreel late? However, Cairo's drunk lines with Mommy Leila allude, seemingly out of left field, that time didn't stop. Was he actually checking for some sort of magic? Was he looking his watch to see if time would stop for him and Gav?
• The title of Episode 13 ("Crossing the Line") works on so many levels. Most superficially, Pearl namedrops it right before having Terrence & Wesley join the video call she set up. You can see a line between them that was not crossed in the bench confrontation. You could get mindblown by the visuals of Cairo & Gavreel both crossing the street midsection to understand and express their love to the other (versus how they mostly stayed in the middle in Episode 10). But you might also appreciate how in those final moments, there are no more screens, and not even masks or gloves that keep them apart anymore. There's one last line at the end between the couple's pillows, which they probably cross if their conversation about the movie they were watching is any indication. Absolutely beautiful cinematography!
