I totally agree with that

I like that Farkle is growing up and I liked Dark Riley. However, chipper Riley is the best Riley. Cory’s Greenland/Iceland lesson tied in nicely to the main storyline. As to if Riley and Lucas become more than friends remains to be seen. Episode grade:B+.

Maya, pretending to be Riley, referred to Lucas as her (Riley’s) brother. This, while according Maya’s mother in this episode would indicate that Riley actually feels this way, is in no way supported by Riley and Lucas’s actions towards each other. They have always shown indications of attraction or a “crush” since episode one. Having similar dispositions, despite Maya’s strange “epiphany,” does not make two people the equivalent of siblings. Riley and Lucas are similar in that they are both positive people, but it presents itself in different ways: Lucas is not nearly as cheery or chipper as Riley. In fact, the relationship of Lucas and Maya is much more similar to a sibling relationship (I am a sibling, so I would know) than that of Lucas and Riley. While some people may think that Maya and Lucas are simply “hiding” their attraction, it actually is very similar to how siblings interact. Lucas does not in any way act like Riley’s “brother,” despite what Maya may have led us to believe. Unless you count the fact that he supports her and cares about her, which is also found in the relationships of friends (which they are) and boyfriend/girlfriends (which they might eventually be). I strongly disagree with the writers’ implication that similar personalities are the beginning of a “sibling” or non-romantic relationship. I find relationships that spring from constant, sibling-like teasing (such as Ron/Hermione and, if it happens, Lucaya) to be the least realistic of all “ships” in every single instance they occur. Also I find the idea of Maya betraying Riley that way to be a terrible idea, as the show mainly centers around their friendship. I would much rather see Rucas and Joshaya than ever see Lucaya. We’ve already seen instances of Maya being the Shawn to Riley’s Cory and Lucas’ Topanga (Maya asks Lucas out to push him toward Riley, Shawn once asked Topanga out to push Cory to ask her out). Putting Maya in between the relationship because for some reason she thinks two positive people should be more like siblings than a couple is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.
