Keep seeing a lot of comments on TT etc about Richard when Rory drops out and I think I view it totally different to everyone else. To me, it wasn’t about him going behind Loreali’s back but instead it was him trying to rectify the wrongs he made with Loreali. In that moment when Rory was on the doorstep in tears I think he saw it as his chance to do what he never did for his daughter and support her life choice and not force her down the path he wanted her to go. Obviously we know how that turned out but I never saw it as being a malicious move to Loreali, more his guilt about their relationship and how he acted in the past.
