I'm so glad the triangle is done. And finally the right man was chosen. Always felt Lucas was the best for her and her for him.

I loved this! Elizabeth couldn't keep her eyes off of Lucas from the time she saw him.. She looks jealous to see him with another woman and shocked that Lucas hadn't told her his mother was coming. The looks between Elizabeth and Lucas are electric with chemistry and I loved how she turns to look at Lucas when he walks by her. A longing look of I wish I was with you. #TeamLucas #LucaBeth

What a true gentleman Lucas is. He handled that well even though he is hurting (understandable). For him Elizabeth's feelings and happiness is above all. Elizabeth's eyes are on him the whole time and her reactions to him. I'm all for E&L angst and build up. #TeamLucas #LucaBeth

I feel that Lucas would be the person for Elizabeth because he encourages her to be free and follow her dreams.Also, I don’t think that just because Nathan is a dad it means that he is better suited for Elizabeth. If she chooses Nathan is ok too because it’s a just a TV series but if this was real life and I was advising a friend, I would encourage her to choose Lucas because of his demeanor, kindness, support, sweetness, gentleness and calm nature. Also, it would be great for Elizabeth to travel with Lucas during school time to different locations and as a writer, write about them.

a way he is acting in this situation is dang 😏

Nathan is honest, patient, a family man and is the best that Elizabeth and LJ can have! 💙

Team Lucas!!! The hurt in his eyes...My heart!

It is really disappointing to know that Elisabeth will go back and forth between this two guys : this love triangle is painful to see at this point.For all of you who keep thinking Elisabeth is going for your choice after watching one scene, you better leave your emotions out of this show, you will experience an emotional trainwreck by the end of the season.

Nice to meet Lucas's mother. Elizabeth sure noticed Lucas with another woman lol. I am rooting for Elizabeth with Lucas #TeamLucas

I have a feeling this season is going to be one awkward moment after another until she chooses one of them. Going on dates, yet while she's with the one she's thinking about the other guy, and any time she's around both at the same time it's super awkward. I don't think this love triangle looks good on Elizabeth's character.

That long stare that Elizabeth gives Lucas 😍😍😍😍 #TeamLucas

[ilovemassu]

at this point, fans could just root for Lucas & Nathan & their own happiness without Elizabeth in the picture

I love Lucas here... He seems hurt but still manages to be respectful and lovely - gentleman. Elizabeth eyes are on Lucas thoughout. #TeamLucas

Guys, this is such a confusing sneek peak lol! I can't deal with this stress. ;( I also agree with many of you--she has been dancing around with the both of them for some time now. She has to pick one and not also want the other. She needs to make up her mind. For herself and baby Jack!

Date with the kids along in the first episode?! Be still my heart! Adorable.

You guys made my day with this clip!!!! Thank you 🥰🥰🥰
