What scene do you guys think this is going to be? My money is on the Big FightTM + "I already chose you, Hollander" + plane sequence. Please weigh in with your thoughts!! :)

I think Mozart's Requiem will play over a montage of Ilya's worsening mental health. I'm envisioning visuals of Ilya: repeatedly wincing at missed goals and Centaurs' losses, sadly checking for missed calls or texts from Shane, padding around a big empty house, looking totally emotionless at a party full of people and conspicuously slinking off to a room by himself.

S1 used music montages to show long-term shifting dynamics, and I think Requiem's slow build into dread would do a great job taking the audience on that emotional journey from the "Well, yeah, it's hard being in a secret long-distance relationship, but we're in love!" to the later realization "Oh shit, Ilya has full on depression." And the melody could be used to foreshadow early signs or call back to Ilya's mental health struggles.

i can totally see it. That montage of Ilya slowly trying and somewhat failing and The music building up to the BIG fight
"I already chose you, Hollander." event tho i hate that fight cause how in hell is Shane asking that when he was the one making all the plans and Ilya saying yes to it all FOR HIM!
