>>50315009There's nothing deep about it. She still admires him, which was the entire basis on their relationship. She's just focused on her goal right now which was the entire reason she LEFT him even after kissing him.
As for AG, you can call it bait but I feel they could have picked literally any other shot from the league and it wouldn't have caused as much confusion. It's a strange choice no matter how you look at it. And given the fact that their reunion ended they way it did, it felt a bit more final. If there's some preview that we see that show Ash using reserves against, say Cynthia, then I'll be inclined to believe that AG is coming back.
