The Saxon Loch of it All

My theory: Loch is gay. He likes men and I think that’s something most people in this sub agree with.

However, the jury seems to be out on whether Saxon is grooming him or not. In my opinion, I don’t think he is. I say this because I don’t think Saxon knows his brother is gay and I get the feeling that, if he did, he would be acting much differently. The vibe I get right now from the dynamic is Saxon wanting to introduce his brother to the world of girls and women that, at his age, Saxon was also just coming into. The family is shown to be very much all about following in people’s footsteps (i.e. The girls all went to Chapel Hill, the boys all went to Duke and work in the same field and expect Loch to do the same).

I’m of the belief that “grooming” in the traditional sense needs to be intentional — not accidental or incidental. Saxon seems to me to be the red herring of the season. They give this family these weird sexual undertones that unsettles us and also explicitly show Saxon to be an overtly sexual person with often inappropriate remarks. It all seems too convenient to me if Saxon was the reason behind the sexual undertones as well.

I actually wouldn’t be surprised if Sax was the body Zion sees in the intro but that theory stems from other things as well. Apart from the tension between Loch and him, there’s also probably going to be mounting tension between him and his father with all the workplace drama that seems to be unfolding and that his dad seems to want to keep him in the dark about. He also has already had early interactions with most of the main cast.

What do y’all think?
