I love how tim went "is it david? You can do better" when martin fell for literally the biggest mess of a man to have ever existed

[@diip-ali1228]

To be fair, the entire cast became even bigger messes by the end so it cancels out

[@garbagemanwithgarbagehands7370]

[@megadude967]

Tim walked into that room 100% sure Martin had a crush on him, but left knowing it was Jon

[@theveryreal.GH0ST3D]

This comment is so real. The fact that I know he would've been trying to ship them together whenever he could too makes it even better.

[@rachnapanyala5838]

I like to think he was willing to flirt with Martin because he thought he was cute but decided shipping him and Jon was better

that one dislike is from Elias seeing them happy

i can't say anything anyone else has said, but i love that last shot of jon's shoes. no face, not even his full outfit, just nice, well kept shoes. such a small but effective show of his character.

[@SorchaSublime]

something I dont think people realise is that this conversation proves Tim KNEW the entirety of season 2 and 3, plus the latter bits of season 1. He managed to process of elimination down Martins potential crush to either him or Jon, then confirmed that it wasn't him. The only possible crush for Martin at this point is literally just Jon. Tim knew. Possibly why he was so pissed off about Jon going off the deep end. Martin had been through a lot and he had likely hoped that theyd find comfort with eachother. Instead his boss went off the deep end and started stalking him

[@adrienne-ukulelecraftsandm559]

OH NO 😭💔

[@emilybarclay8831]

I think he knew. He knew it was one of the archival staff, and it wasn’t Sasha or him, and no one in the world except Peter Lukas is capable of being attracted to Elias, so I think that very serious and slightly sad sounding tone in Tim’s voice was because he knew it was Jon and he knew Jon is quite unkind to Martin at that point in the story, so he’s literally telling Martin that Jon will never see him as an equal if he keeps bending over backwards, and to not give too much of himself away to someone who isn’t reciprocating
