    Summary

    Surely, an early morning workout will get Tashi ready for the day. It certainly will not make her think about her night with a certain dark-haired loser. Or that Art might lose the New Rochelle Final because everything is fine. (Spoiler Alert: It's not fine)

    A deleted scene of what happened after Tashi got back from her night with Patrick and the morning before the final match.

    There’s no escaping it. No matter how far they go it’s always this. It’s always the three of them. It’s always tennis.

    This can be read as a sequel to “the Stalk”, also by yours truly.

    Summary

    Patrick has been a perfectly fine scapegoat for as long as he didn’t have to look him in the eyes—for Tashi, and thus, for Art, because he’d done enough fucked up things to keep the lie believable, to frontload blame, channel every bit of jealousy and self-righteousness and frustration he’s ever felt towards him and bury his memory into something warped, but they’re too close now to avoid the inevitable blow up. The buried truth.

    The truth is, they’re each other’s inverse in that Patrick will betray others to prove to himself that he’s a scumbag, and Art will betray himself to feel less guilty about what he wants.

    The truth is, Art knows repression first and second hand, literally, and he’s done good forgetting.

    a post-challenger wrap up of the movie that has art, patrick and tashi confronting themselves and each other in more ways than one.
