And the show knew that it mattered and that it was everything, because the only point of it was to show how perfect and wonderful it was, before they walked in and discovered Amy was back, and all that perfection and wonderfulness was suddenly at risk.

That's one of my favourite scenes. It's just so normal and it feels so right, like they've always been a family. There's so much to love about it: Ste holding little Leah's hand, and the way that Brendan instinctively picks Leah up, just because he wants to. And the mocking of Doug is of course amazing

Plus Amy looks all kinds of awesome in her red lipstick, back to bring our boys angst. But it was a good kind of angst - there was so much history there between the three of them.

Ooh that scene is amazing. I love how Brendan says that he'd kill anyone who tried to hurt Leah and Lucas, and Amy says exactly. Then Brendan tries to pass it off as a figure of speech but Amy knows it's not with him.
That part in the gif does make me laugh though, because Ashley gets all up close and stares at Embo's lips

Who can blame the girl? Bramy scenes were always electric and endlessly interesting, and I love how Amy could often see right through Brendan. I'll never forget when she said that she'd never met anyone more alone, and Brendan's heart just breaks
