MRJ is such a great actor but some people don’t give him enough credit. Neal isn’t a weepy character and he is more laid back. He occasionally gets worked up but for the most part he is easy going and holds in his emotions. Now some people either can’t relate to that or don’t like that. They prefer the teary-eyed super passionate type of character but not everyone on the show can be that. Not to mention just because Neal doesn’t show his emotions constantly on his sleeve doesn’t mean that he doesn’t feel. He feels a lot and he is passionate but he also wants people to be happy and will step back if that’s what they want. I just hurt so much for Neal this episode. I just wanted to give him tons of hugs. I could see his devastation in his eyes and hear it in his voice. Not all actors can do that.
"We were happy."
"Because... it was born out of true love."
