All American Homecoming: What Is Thea Hiding From Damon?
It took a while but it seems that the writers for All American: Homecoming, at least for now have moved away from the messy love triangle that is Thea, Simone, and Damon. However, their union has been nothing short of rocky. With Thea still dealing with her injured shoulder, there’s a secret lurking underneath her version of events.
While Thea has been cleared to resume practice, Damon has not been able to see the truth. Thea is hiding something from him and when it comes out, it will draw a division between the two lovers.
Damon noticed a bruise on Thea’s shoulder and when he asked about it, she informed him that she had a bad reaction to her meds. No, that can’t be true. I’m hoping that Thea is not taking something like steroids to help her heal faster. This will not be an unfamiliar subject matter on the show as coach Marcus dealt with this in the past. But if they were to go this route, this could be a valuable lesson here and Marcus could be the one to help save Thea’s career and life.
Another reason for my suspicion is due to last week’s episode where Thea’s mother came into town and we were giving just a bit of insight into Thea’s backstory.
It may be a stretch to label Thea as a compulsive liar, however, all the signs are there. She wants to win and with Simone taking her spot in the Top 6, Thea is determined to regain her spot as the best at Bringston University. But is she willing to go the route and destroy all she’s worked for?
If she is indeed taking something to help heal, how long before Damon or someone else finds out? Their relationship is in a great place now and it would be a shame to see it all go in up flames because she can’t be honest. But this has been the focal point of both All American: Homecoming and All American shows.
It’s obvious that Thea has come a long way. She was introduced as the mean girl at first but has since softened a bit, especially when it comes to Damon. While she and Simone have been on the outs for the majority of the series, they have their moments where they can see eye-to-eye. Thea is becoming a fan favorite and maybe that’s the reason why the writers choose her instead of Simone to carry this burden,
However, I could be reading this entirely wrong and Thea may be telling the truth. What if she did have a bad reaction but the way that mark was on her shoulder, it did look like a needle bruise. But if that’s true, then why would they make it so obvious? There has to be more to the story and that’s what makes this so intriguing. No matter what Thea is going through, it’s clear that’s she keeping a secret from Damon.
