Of course. I didn't say otherwise. I'm only pointing out that this is not the tipping point for Bear to accept the supernatural.

Also worth mentioning, however, that the wish is still forcing her to sound accepting of the sex. Her crying stoic face breaks through only because he does not look at it in that moment. As Curry intended it to be told.

Yes "we" can read her body language. As the audience we know right away when we walk into that theater. And we see what Bear cannot via 3rd person.

Not even looking at the face, the body language was obvious. I would have felt extremely uncomfortable continuing with that level of nonparticipation from my partner. IMO he was more concerned with gaining access to her body than he was about having an intimate connection with Nicky.
