And here Matt Colville shows us all why the players being invested in each others’ characters is a climax to him, rather than the status quo.

(Which, I feel the need to stress, is not discounting the emotional significance the moment between Liam and Sam had. Not at all. It is just a disservice to the series and the players to consider it a climax to anything, in addition to Colville showing favoritism towards Liam and/or Vax. Again.)
