There’s something so cruel about Not-Sasha’s “boyfriend” being named Tom.

His name is so close to Tim’s. It’s like the universe is taunting him with what almost was, with Tim nearly getting to hear his name every time Sasha talks about her new partner. But not quite.

It’s the perfect manifestation of the Stranger, but it’s likely not a manifestation at all. Someone who was probably Tom introduces himself with that name to Daisy YEARS before The Not-Sasha stuff happens.

So that means the Tom/Tim parallel is probably just a coincidence by the universe instead of a direct manifestation…which almost makes it hurt more to imagine Tim’s thought process when “Sasha” told him that she had given up on their “will they, won’t they,” story to date a guy that almost has his name.

Tim and Sasha are doomed in such a parallel line way. They always seem to run along each other somehow, but they’re never able to intersect.
