I almost hated this. Were it not for the absolute perfection that is the three-tiered grovel in the third act, I could never have forgiven Preston for being the stupidest, shallowest, most arrogant man alive. Preston needed to 1) be rejected repeatedly and 2) apologize and 3) earn back trust through small and sincere gestures and then 4) be rejected repeatedly again and then, finally, possibly, thankfully 5) grovel and grand gesture his way to a happily ever after. What a relief to see Shupe stick the landing here.
