Ever since this goldfish-out-of-water story began, the show’s message was clear: Accepting things you can’t change but believe that everyone has it in them to be better versions of themselves. Unfortunately, in the case of Roy and Keeley, the timing of their independent epiphanies just wasn’t synchronized with one another.
Since she left the egotistical Jamie (Phil Dunster), Keeley has gone from strength to strength. However, her rapid personal growth overshot Roy’s by miles. Her journey to become a business mogul was misinterpreted by her former flame. After Keeley chipped away at Richmond’s gravel-gargling assistant gaffer, it led the constantly enraged Roy to struggle mastering feelings he’d shelved for years. In opening up to someone he cared so much about, the only thing he saw was that she was better without him — even though it was his support that helped her believe in her dreams.
As Goldstein explained to Glamour, “Fundamentally, he thinks he’s not worthy and that he doesn’t deserve this love; I think he’s kind of three steps forward, two steps back.” It’s a slow process, but in a season all about people moving on, Roy might turn a corner — thanks to the help of an unlikely ally.
