It’s so bittersweet that Tim is the one who goes back for Jon in “Hide And Seek.”

Tim has so many negative feelings toward Jon at that point. Most of which are warranted after Jon stalked his house and accused him of murder.

Yet, when Jon tells him and Martin to go home early because he’s “sick,” Tim is the one who decides that he and Martin should tail Jon and figure out what’s going on in case he tries to hurt himself or others.

It’s really an encapsulation of the thing I find most interesting about Tim and Jon’s dynamic: Tim is clearly angry at Jon, but he can never really seem to bring himself to fully hate him, despite always being at the cusp of that feeling. It’s like when Jon gets accused of Leitner’s murder and Tim at first assumes that he must have hurt Sasha too, only for his opinion to waiver a bit the second Martin points out that Michael or the Not! Them creature could have gotten her too…almost as if a part of him was still eager to believe that Jon was innocent.

I’ve thought about Jon and Tim’s dynamic a lot lately. It’s just so…they could have been such good friends in another universe. Maybe they are.
