I feel somehow deprived that I've never been in a relationship that's had a 'crisis mode.' I further feel that there's a time delay is news of said 'crisis mode.' I would have said 'crisis mode' was when they had to fly to the UK and pap stroll with the Family Hiddleston in order to legitimize a relationship that no one with a fully functioning brain believed in.

Perhaps the break-up narrative is now in stage 2 and it will enter stage 3 when they don't show at the Emmys together. OR, they could make their last hurrah on the Emmy RC, giving those without fully functioning brains a parting gift.
