This is the scene that officially killed me (until they get together officially, of course). 

1) Just before Anne makes her entrance, Matthew’s all “where’s Anne gone off to?” So you KNOW she took a little extra time to look “just right” for Gil. And then Gilbert stands up when his queen enters the room. Like, no one else is gonna stand up for her entrance. Bash just copied Gilbert thinking it was polite, but Matthew’s like ??? Why is he standing up? (And Marilla be like, d’aww!! He loooooves her.)

2) He gives her a gift (like, in addition to all his heart-eyes) not expecting one in return. And, as we find out later, it’s like SUCH a perfect gift for her and one probably not found in any shops she would’ve visited at this point.

3) Can we get the rights to“Kiss da Girl” for this scene, pls?! Also, love that his reaction to this charged moment is a little nervous laugh. So romantical.

4) You think that’d all the Christmas heart-eyes? Oh hells nah! Gil’s got like 8 months worth of heart-eyes to make up for! Here he is just f*cking LOVING watching Anne listen to the “exotic ports of call” Bash has been to. I mean, Gil’s prolly been to those places too, but he doesn’t care about talking rn. Too busy watching her excitement and probably imagining taking her to those places someday.

5) D’awww!!!  He gets all blushy and shy when she says the Christmas panto is “going to be wonderful” toward him. (Gots ta respect your tech crew, y’all!)

6) And then he’s like, “Okay, so my new dad/bro is tots loving her and they’re toasting the island, which is awesome, but like, she hasn’t looked at me for like 3 seconds, so I need to get back in there. Merry Christmas, future wife!”

Bonus: Looking at his future wife at someone’s wedding like…

Double-bonus: Cole’s smug face after telling her Gil’s got a crush on her. YAS! Cole and Bash, please continue to keep these nerds from cockblocking themselves with their overthinking!
