I was starting to think that it might work as a 'oh, maybe we finally understand each other about something' smile with a kind of a 'resigned to the way things are' kiss. So a little more bittersweet than it actually appeared.
I could see Aeryn's frustration at John's inexplicable behavior, and I can see John's lingering HUGE ISSUES with Scorpius. Maybe it would be enough to at least start making sense to one another?
But ultimately Aeryn still lied about the pregnancy and John was hurt, John deliberately shunned Aeryn and failed to explain why when she was reaching out to him with all the tools she had. None of these things were resolved in the slightest, it's just that more issues were introduced into the conversation.
That's the way I'm working with it at the moment, anyway.
