to understand the reasoning behind the writing, so I don’t mind that they are are using Steve as Bo’s ESP tourguide. As for Hope, she is convinced Bo is long-gone and never coming back, and that after a very long time, she has finally found love again; but, when she is alone and thinks of Bo, she is able to see that Steve, knowing Bo as well as he does, just might have something there. I’m not a Bope lover, never have been, but I must admit I am loving everything about the show so very much right now that I find the Bo/Hope/Aiden sl to be, simply put, just another part of the visceral connection to DOOL that I have been missing for years.
