May I point out that when Kate takes Dorset's hand to get into the boat, she's wearing gloves. During the ride, she takes them off to play with the water. So not only Anthony would have been witnessed Kate taking Dorset's hand for a second time, but it would have been without the gloves – hand to hand. Anthony would rather die i think.

Kate’s thumb in Anthony’s mouth, though. The real hand stuff I went feral for.

I have to say that I love love love how they portrayed Anthony's panic attack when Kate gets stung by the bee, and how Kate did such a great grounding technique to help steady his breathing and take his mind off the sudden panic. She had every opportunity to laugh off his distress if it was anyone else, but instead helped him overcome the momentary fear and replace it with something else.

One of the most important “hand stuff” scenes is when his mother holds his hand while they’re both crying during her long overdue apology to him. There has been a strong undercurrent of hurt and coldness in their relationship since season one and this brilliantly shows that mother and son are finally on the mend. It’s so moving, it always makes me cry.

He stopped laughing and weeping when his father died and then Kate enters his life and he can laugh and cry again. She basically brought him back to life. When he cried in the last episode, I cried too and I noticed that I too was holding my emotions with him the entire season and crying was a sort of relief.

In the scene where they confess their love, even if they do not touch, the fact that Anthony put his hand on his heart to confess his love for her is very telling.

I read somewhere that the Bee and Bangle incident was Anthony's dad and Kate's Mom reaching from the afterlife and trying to get these idiots to realize their feelings. Daddy Bee - see she is not allergic, she will not die, you will not lose her you idiot - marry her. Mommy Bangle makes a scene, stops the wedding , fixes the horrible mistake that was going to happen.

I think the first time Anthony laughed was in their first encounter in the woods riding, when Kate went off on her victory lap, and Anthony let out a small laugh

Ugh thank you. Having the side stories rather than Kate’s backstory was a disservice to Kanthony.

One of the most beautiful and tender moments in Anthony's "worship" of Kate in Ep. 7 is when he puts her hand on his face as he is unbuttoning his vest...

I love the way you trashed and bantered Anthony.......he did deserve it 🤣. He literally looks like such a lost puppy during that lake scene while holding Kate's hand 🤭

Anthony going downtown = euphemism lol I agree, her reaching for his hand in this intimate scene says it all.

I think both Jonathan and Simone give their hundred per cent to creating this epic chemistry. Hands stuff aside which is the base of their romantic journey but the way they used other senses like the way they see each other intensely, the way they speak passionately, how they both hear and understand each other and not forget how Kate's scent hypnotises Anthony. Never have I experienced senses playing an important part in any romantic portrayal in movies or series and that's why Season two raised the bar higher for any romantic story or romantic couples out there. I just love Kate and Anthony 🐝❤🌷

You said that you had to trim down some things just not to make it so long, but I'm hear to tell you I would watch/listen to you talk bout them for hours on end. Everything you pointed out, hit the nail on the head. Perfection. I thank you again for this amazing content, as my obsession for these two grows everyday at a unhealthy rate. Lol. 💗 🙌

Anthony smiles in first episode as well, after the horse ride when Kate leaves without giving her name and later again when he sees her in the garden before they start fighting.

My other favorite hand exchange is the dinner after Daphne explains feelings to him. He stares at her rubbing his lips with his finger, almost imagining the feeling. I think that’s when he realizes what he really feels for her. Take out the word ‘sister’ and you can tell he wants to understand why she doesn’t feel the same about him.

Just go ahead and put this video in my veins. Anthony really brought Mr. Dorsett into the situation and then literally stood in front of him to help Kate out of the boat so Dorsett couldn't touch her hand again. That's his Kate, that's Anthony's hand to hold. I can't stand him. I love it so much 🥺

On my second watch of the series, I noticed that after their dance in episode 8, they are standing there looking at each other while HOLDING HANDS.

I get so angry when someone says that they didn't like the bee scene or that it was cringe like girl did we even see the same thing.
