Noah wakes up from surgery and he can see! Luke remains torn between him and Reid on “ATWT”

Whatever happens with Luke and Reid and Noah, I’m just so impressed with Van Hansis who has masterfully shown Luke’s growing conflict. He loves Noah but his attraction to Reid is palpable and more than physical.

His mom isn’t happy to find out about her son’s involvement with Reid (Eric Sheffer Stevens) but Luke reminds Lily that Noah and he have broken up. She asks him if he has feelings for Reid and I LOVE how Luke lights up and smiles and looks so smitten as he tells his mom about how Reid is in your face and says exactly how he feels about you: “To have a guy like that say that he likes you, it feels nice for a change.”

Lily (the terrific Noelle Beck) is upset because she wanted Luke and Noah to have the kind of love that lasts forever. Like her and Holden? She said both people have to believe in that love. When Luke asks her who stopped believing in their love, I give Lily credit for this honest answer: “We took turns.”

Anyway, Noah (Jake Silbermann) wakes up from surgery. He does not have brain damage and he can see! It’s blurry but he can see. Reid chats with his patient and Noah vows to make things up to Luke after pushing him away, clueless that his ex-boyfriend and his doctor are red-hot for each other.

Later, Noah says to Luke: “I know how hard I’ve been on you. I’m so sorry. … I know we have a lot to work through but I hope our relationship is strong enough to survive this.”

But is it too late???
