There is only one conclusion Silvia could have come to.

(ID in alt and under cut)

ID: 1. Hips up of Guillermo and his mother, wearing their clothes from s5e10. Silvia has a photo album labeled 1990-2000 under her arm. She grins with a raised brow and leans in toward Guillermo, hand cupped around her mouth, to say "Mijo, tu novio es un poquito mayor, pero me gusta. ¡Tan guapo!" English translation: My son, your boyfriend is a little old, but I like him. So handsome!" Guillermo startles at her words, flushed and staring, stuttering back in Spanglish, "Me- huh?!"

2. Repeat, zoom out slightly as Nandor, wearing his clothes from s5e10, leans into frame with his hands twiddling together and asks, "What did she say?" Guillermo reddens further and whips towards his mother, frantically covering her mouth with both hands, much to her confusion. He glares as Nandor over his shoulder, flustered, and shouts "Nothing!! What did you say?!" (emphasis on you) /End ID

the slayers have an instinct to kill vampires that overrides anything else, but eventualy they should be able to control that rage, right? Guillermo could do it and, while a lot can be attributed to his big fat crush, I assume exposure had a lot to do with it, too. so I think next season Nandor should start casually hanging out with Silvia, because if she can get used to him/vampires, Guillermo won't have to say goodbye to her if/when he becomes a vampire (I still think it will happen at the end of the show, probably, like 80% chance)

and anyway, I don't need a reason, it would be so hilarious and wholesome at the same time if it happens. Just imagine... boardgames night! watching tv together and getting hooked on some soap-y drama! Silvia teaching Nandor to knit and him making a very shitty sweater! we deserve a Nandor's son-in-law that isn't actually, tecnically daiting her son arc tbh

What’ll it be??? These should look familiar if you’ve been keeping up with Harvey’s Behind the Shadows project... A special guest (or two) for each episode of S4, and each  guest gets to make up a drink inspired by their character (and/or their self) to be served at Nadja’s nightclub! Some of them were so fun I just had to draw the whole menu....

Click for quality!! 1 rb = 1 free drink ;p

I've never been so afraid of Nandor before

I think I should be feeling robbed for not getting that fight scene the show was teasing, but Nandor being with Silvia gave me all the adrenaline, damn!

ID: 1a. Wide shot of the foyer of the house as Guillermo walks backward from the front door, followed by cousin Miguel. Miguel swaggers through, looking around with a teasing grin, and says "Órale! Got rid of all the vines 'n shit, eh? No worries about eco-friendly anymore?" Guillermo smiles nervously, hands held out in a calming gesture as he backs toward the hallway. He replies, "Haha, yeah, okay, just...stay put and wait for me, okay? We'll just be in and out, real quick." Miguel asks, "What, you hiding something?" Guillermo splutters, "No, I just-" 1b. Close up of Guillermo from the front on a startled starburst background, eyes wide with panic as a voice from the hall calls out, "Guillermo?" Guillermo's face darkens and he begins to sweat profusely, bold text nearby telegraphing his thoughts: Oh no. 1c. Zoom out, view down the hallway as Guillermo leaps out of frame in the foreground, startled. Coming down the hall with a confident gait is Nandor, hair down, wearing nothing but his rings and a white button up shirt that certainly does not belong to him. His hairy thighs are bare beneath it, and his decency is only covered by a tastefully long black censor box that says 'swang!' as it swings back and forth with his steps. Nandor's stern gaze is focused on Guillermo as he demands, "Guillermo, where have you been? I had to take a bath all by myself, and I couldn't find my robe-"

2a. Wide shot from the side of all three men as Nandor reaches them at the mouth of the hallway. Nandor sees Miguel and grins, pleased, pointing at him and saying "Oh, hello... Is this for me?" Guillermo stands between them, frozen, red-faced, and sweating like a sinner in church. He shoots a panicked glance over his shoulder at Miguel, who is equally frozen and staring wide-eyed at Nandor's crotch. A clear dotted arrow line aims his gaze. 2b. Repeat. Guillermo snaps out of it and turns Nandor around, pushing at his back to steer him back down the hall. He splutters, "No, that is my cousin, just- no! Go to your room! And stop stealing my shirts!" Nandor, confused, allows himself to be pushed but glares over his shoulder, lip curled, and whines "Eyy, no pushing!" Miguel stands just as he was, wide-eyed stare moved to the middle distance. 2c. Shot from the hall toward the front door, Guillermo close-up in the foreground as he pushes Nandor away. In the background, Miguel somewhat recovers, a startled grin crossing his face as he holds one arm up in a shrug and calls, "Yo, hey, good for you, Memo-" Guillermo, blushing and angry, snaps back, "¡Cállate!" In parentheses: "shut up!"

3. Days later, Miguel stands with Silvia at her kitchen sink, drying a glass jar with a dishcloth as she has her gloved hands elbow-deep in soapy water. Frowning as he works, Miguel says, "Tía, conocí al novio de Memo el otro día." In parentheses: "Auntie, I met Memo's boyfriend the other day." Silvia smiles indulgently, eyes on the sink, and asks, "¿En serio? ¿Qué te pareció?" In parentheses: "Really? What did you think?" Miguel replies, "Como dijiste...mayor." In parentheses: "Like you said. Big." There is an asterisk next to big, leading to a footnote that says "Mayor can mean old/older or big/bigger". /end ID

It is REALLY getting me that Guillermo is actively choosing this.

Because narratively speaking, I get it. I understand why Guillermo feels like he has to "say goodbye" to his mother and essentially leave his old human life behind as he transitions into a vampire. It's symbolic and metaphorical and literal all at once and makes for a very interesting plot point while also giving us a great look into the psyche of his character.

But logically? It doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Logically, it would be relatively easy for him to figure out a way that works to have the best of both worlds if he wanted. For one thing, there's always hypnosis to fall back on if things really went down the tubes, but besides that, Guillermo is a MASTER MANIPULATOR. We know this. We have seen this. All he would really have to do is choose his actions very carefully and deliberately, and he'd be fine.

He could simply just make sure he visited at night, find clever ways to pretend he eats human food, strategically avoid mirrors, wear special protective layers that would allow him to display a crucifix if he wanted... etc etc.

Or better yet, he could just come clean about being a vampire, at least to his mother! It was clear from Pine Barrens last season that Silvia especially would accept Guillermo no matter what and would (at least eventually) be cool with the idea of vampires existing anyway. She was most definitely the least fazed when he initially revealed the truth to his family before Nadja hypnotized away the vampire-related bits. His Abuelita and extended family members would potentially be another story, but his mamá would handle it well, I think. (And if he was worried about her slipping up at any time, he could hypnotize away the urge and ability to tell anyone else the truth! It'd be that simple!)

But Guillermo is choosing this path.

He is choosing to shed his old life, his human life, because he has decided that no matter how much he loves his human family, his desire to live freely with his found family as his full authentic self with absolutely NO hangups or threads to hold him back (what he believes would hold him back) is more important.

And unfortunately, the process of coming to that final decision has cost him his relationship with his mother, who, I would say, is the most important non supernatural person in his entire life. His selfishness, self-centeredness, and pure unbridled obsession with and devotion to his vampire family and to Nandor in particular has essentially destroyed the ties that he could have kept to Silvia. It may have started as a subconscious thing, but at this point, there's no denying that he has made his choice.

It's an agonizing kind of choice, but he has convinced himself it's what he has to do.

And GOD if that isn't just the most deliciously interesting plunge into Guillermo's thought processes and rationalization the show has ever taken.

Guillermo tells his mother everything about his life with Nandor. Silvia wonders how she lost her son without realizing, how she could have let this monster steal him away.

But in the end, it was Guillermo who made the choices.
