seize the day

one of my favorite things about portwell is the foreshadowing from the older episodes. i'm not sure if this makes any sense and it is a bit of a stretch but i've been thinking about the connection between the situation in 2x10 and the career day speech in 2x08.

this could all be a total coincidence but in 2x08, "seize the day" is mentioned twice:

1. when ej and gina were being adorable, he mentioned that during career day, the speakers usually tell them to seize the day, and then let it go and asked her what she thought it meant

2. after giving his son the duke sweatshirt and announcing that he got in, ej's father asked the class if they knew the meaning of the phrase seize the day

in 2x10, both ej and gina were nervous about falling in love because of past heartbreaks/misinterpretations, ej with nini and gina with ricky. despite his fears however, ej got the courage to ask her out.

another way to look at it would be like seizing the day. he realized that maybe it's time to take control and look past rejection. to make the most of it. similarly to what carlos said, whatever happened with a girl in the past doesn't mean that the future should be defined by it.
