Theo’s college schedule and tutoring gig make it difficult for him and Griffin to keep up with their Skype dates, but they’re trying. During this date, Theo opens his first care package from Griffin. Griffin sent him some Star Wars and X-Men coloring books and a pirate bobblehead.

Griffin is happy Theo makes time for their Skype dates, but he feels guilty calling them dates since they aren’t dating. Still, they’re affectionate and only focused on one another for now. Theo’s love for Griffin makes Griffin feel in control of his mental health.
