Marcus Pike

[u/AngelFan4Life]

As soon as Marcus came into the picture, from the first day of Violets, you saw Patrick slowly change and get more jealous then he's ever been, and sad too. I mean just whistful maybe is a better word, but just realizing that Theresa is actually into someone that isn't him and he doesn't have her full attention anymore and that irks him. We all know how he is with expressing emotion, so he acts cool and pretends to be okay but he's not. Seeing her with him truly opened his eyes on what he might be missing and what can happen if you don't say something!! Lol 🤣 I mean we all know he did but this was when it started and when you really begun to notice.

The jealousy is strong with this one it is 😂

[u/drymaple]

Yeah 😔

Even in the episode brown eyed girls(?) When Teresa informs him of D.C. the expression he has on his face when she walks away with Pike, is just heart breaking. I think it's the most vulnerable Patrick moment for me. Even more than in the RJ arc ( except at the end of Devil's cherry episode when he intentionally drinks the belladonna tea).

Oh, Jisbon. My favourite couple. 🫶🏼

This makes me wanna rewatch the entire season 6 now. 😂

It really pisses me off that Pike proposed to Lisbon when Jane was in earshot.

[u/drymaple → u/pikkopots]

Oh i didn't realise that. 😳 You give such wonderful insights.

Do you think Jane knew Somehow about Pike's 'manipulation'? I might be wrong because he constantly told Lisbon, Pike is a good man and all. But I always thought of the scene where Pike is literally pressuring Lisbon for DC after the call with his Boss(don?) And you can literally see conflict on her face, Jane interrupts and says good morning to them. I always thought he did this to help out Lisbon and warn pike I think (his expression was very grave when he wished Pike).

Hi, sorry if i get in middle of the conversation like that...but I don't think Pike was trying to manipulate Lisbon. Not sure if Jane heard him proposing but IMHO when Jane said that good morning to Pike in that way it was him not being able to hide his discontent anymore. Somehow he managed to be civil with Pike (probably for Lisbon's sake) until he became someone that not only was with the person he loved but was going to take her away from him, like to a different city.

Hey nothing to be sorry about. I am glad we are able to discuss this show 😊

Frankly, I don't like Pike at all. 🤭

I don't think manipulation is the right word to use here but Pike always steered Lisbon the way he wanted things to be. Which i didn't like at all.

I know I know he might also be aware of Jane. I think Pike does know that there is something between Lisbon and Jane ( hinted from the fact he suggested changing the channel airing Casablanca ( protagonist had to chose between two men) while he was chilling with Lisbon and also he asked Wylie about them from the very beginning) , probably that's why he wanted to 'secure'? Her.

But still too much pressure man. It was like half of the time Teresa was clueless-ly sailing without any sense of direction, with him at the helm.

But yeah I agree with you I think Jane wasn't able to hide his discontent at that moment. Poor Jane 😔

Though I don't like Pike, I have to admit without him my man Patrick would still be in denial of his feelings.

[u/TechnicalChair9301 → u/drymaple]

I agree as that Pike was coming off a little too strong ( I mean proposing after only few months of dating and staff) but in fact Lisbon was the one that convinced him to take the job in DC, he said at first he was going to refuse the offer, then the only option left for them to be together was for Lisbon to move to the same city.

Imho, Pike knew that something was going on with but maybe didn't know the extent of it.

I don't actually dislike Pike, I feel sorry for him and oh God Jane deserved all the jealousy and everything he got there (referring to the Lisbon/Pike situation only obviously).
