As Thea (Michael) her shower, and her mixed feelings she has towards his son she thinks about during shower, Thea (Michael) was determined to make the rest of the evening more relaxed.
"Alright, let's just forget about everything for a while," Thea (Michael) said, offering Dylan a smile. "Let's just watch Netflix and chill? Find something good to watch."
Dylan, still grappling with his complicated feelings, nodded. "Sure... Umm.. Babe?" he replied, trying to sound casual. "Let's just chill for the rest of the night"
Thea (Michael) grabbed a cozy blanket, tossing it over the couch, and picked out some snacks. Dressed in a comfy pajamas and shorts with her beautiful flowing hari, she seemed to have embraced the casual, feminine look. Dylan sat down beside her, trying to focus on the TV, although his mind was still running wild with everything that had happened.

"So, what are we watching?" Dylan asked, scrolling through the options on Netflix.
"Hmm, maybe a comedy or rom-com? Something light. I don't wanna think too much tonight," Thea (Michael) answered, leaning back into the couch.
"Rom-com, huh? You're really getting into this, aren't you... Babe?" Dylan teased lightly, trying to break the tension.
"What can I say? It's hard not to when you look like this," Thea (Michael) quipped back, playfully nudging him.
After a bit of back-and-forth, they settled on a cheesy romantic comedy, the kind that was easy to watch without much thought. As the movie began, they both got more comfortable, Dylan leaning in closer, sharing the warmth of the blanket with Thea (Michael).
During a quiet moment in the movie, Thea (Michael) glanced over at Dylan and noticed the flicker of unease in his expression. She softened her voice. "Hey... I know things got a little weird earlier, but remember, I'm still your dad," she said, her hand gently resting on his. "We'll figure all this out."
Dylan looked at her, his emotions conflicted. "I know, Dad. It's just... all this is confusing, you know?"
"I get it," Thea (Michael) said, squeezing his hand reassuringly. "But let's not worry about that tonight. Let's just enjoy the movie. And.. I think you just called me Dad again? it's "Babe", okay...? The day has not ended yet."
Dylan nodded, letting himself relax a little as the movie continued. As the night went on, they stayed close, the weight of their strange situation set aside for now, sharing a quiet moment of normalcy amidst the chaos.
