Rowan truly does suffer from face blindness as he doesn't even remember Brit putting him into a catatonic state from that one time she bought a laptop from him at PlayTech.

[@humanbutterfly]

That was literally years ago, too long to suggest face blindness. His repeated mixing up of Adam and Allen over the years does suggest it, though.

[@AliLightfoot]

Britt perfectly within her rights to not give a high five for that, but also never one to disrespect a manager.

[@chribu_]

I love how Britt still gives him the high five even though she disagrees with Rowan cause being obedient is just her default setting

[@Wintercomet100]

I loved Rowan's cheeky little look to the camera with his little 4th wall break indicating all us fans. And even Adam's excited smile while gesturing to the stuff as well.

[@marceloa392]

Lol i have subtitles on for me hes gesturing to the sub text!

[@xAaeiynx]

Only Rowan & Adam know this isn't real. If Alan was here, he would know this isn't real, either 'cause of the "realizing you're not real" video, back in the day of VLDL. Adam knows he isn't real since day one of his appearance. Along with other videos indicating how different he is outside of PlayTech/TechTown vs when he's there.

I cant't believe Rowan is okay with peasants wearing a Techtown manager shirt. Alan's departure affected him more than I thought... I NEED ONE!!

[@humanbutterfly]

I have never, in my life, seen face blindness so casually brought up. "We know you have a disability, are you sure you want to ignore it yourself?" Like asking the person with a chocolate allergy, "Are you sure you want that mocha coffee? There's chocolate in it." That tidbit hit me harder than the repeated fourth wall breaks. Once mentioned, I was counting the seconds until "Theo" popped into frame.
