Because it's better to have him as a friend than as an enemy.

Wrigly saw Stephen for who he was when he “admitted” to writing the letter about Drew

Wait I haven’t heard anyone mention the wife telling Bree to marry someone who loves her a little more than she loves them and that’s why she decides to stick with Evan and not go after wrigley

i honestly feel like evan is too similar to stephen and i didn’t realize it until this season. hes manipulative and controlling but serves it with a “nice guy” face .. really not a fan of him this season

Evan stays friends with Stephen because Stephen makes Evan look like the good guy.

Also those are millennials we have to understand that the series happened between 2008 - 2015. I was in uni at that time as well and trust me, we didn’t have the emotional awareness, tools or language to pinpoint narcissistic behavior. We were rawdogging life, it was horrible I actually remember having people (sort of like) Steven at that time.

Great analysis! I was wondering why Wrigley and Stephen weren’t groomsmen. I also wonder if Stephen’s speech at the rehearsal dinner was planned or impromptu? Why would Evan ask Stephen to speak if he’s not a groomsman?

Evan is also minutes from graduating - he can just try to fade away when they move on to separate lives.

I don’t think he and Bree are going to do anything. I think there is an extra layer of intimacy because they’ve been through real stuff outside of crappy parent things.

Side note: I love your take on grief in this. It really summed up how I changed.

There’s also another thing which I think is too similar to be coincidence, at the bar (2015) - when Stephen speaks to Bree she says something very specific ‘one little mistake ruin things’ that phrase ‘one little mistake’ is EXACTLY how Evan described it when he was first telling the guys in the cafeteria. Someone must have talked to Bree. She must have already known. Not telling Lucy she knew might have made her feel even worse compounded with her marrying Evan knowing it was Lucy, on her still loving Wrigley

It’s also the guys senior year, probably just riding it out until graduation- not rocking the boat with Stephen
