The prom King and Queen are…or King and King. Or I guess Queen and Queen. It’s whatever they prefer. Your prom royalty, Alex Standall and Charlie St. George.
And I don’t really know what happens tomorrow, or in two minutes when we walk out that door. All I know is… I want this feeling to keep going. Because this whole experience… I’m just– I’m not ready for it to be over. For us to be, I mean. And if that means doing another musical, then fine.
I get to pick the musical.
Fine. That’s fine. It’s all fine. I just– I don’t want this to be just a showmance. Really. I want it to be the real thing. I mean, I think it is the real thing, I just… I want a chance to prove it. I do.

the importance of the ricky and nini one-on-one scene in episode 8
the one-on-one scene was very very very important for the viewers to see and understand the history that ricky and nini have, the connection they share, and the chemistry they have together.
the scene begins with ricky possibly beginning an attempt to apologize, but nini, understandably, doesn’t respond too kindly.
she’s aware that she did her best to console ricky, and even though he was in a negative mood and returned to her with a rude demeanor, she knew he was just hurting and she told him what she understood would help ricky out. but of course, she was still hurt by his words.
it’s clear that there was a lot of tension built up between the two, and that they need to talk it out.
it’s so so so obvious that there’s so much left unsaid between the two and they needed to clear things up, and let things out. ricky admits that he’s glad to have it out of his system, as he believes stuff has been building up that needed to be said.
but just as the relationship went after the breakup ‘pause’ event, they both clearly seemed to not want to continue with what else they wanted to say and attempted to “move on” in the scene :
the tone that is set in the scene currently is very tense, and viewers are shown a bit of a banter between ricky and nini. they both clearly have different sides to their story, but without fully acknowledging the differences in perspective, and talking all of that out, they end up holding back themselves and instead release a negative connotation against each other.
