My chest tightens.
They show a shot of Farrow as he runs his tattooed fingers through his hair, and his eyes hit the camera. We all tense because this is thefirsttime in history a bodyguard is close-up in the docuseries and not just nameless background.
Luna is buried in her shirt.
“It shouldn’t have happened like this,” Rose Calloway says emotionally, angrily, gut-wrenchingly as they show Jane screaming into a sob outside the hospital after the car crash.
I have my hand in Jane’s, leading her to a vehicle.
Professional.
I was just her bodyguard back then. But what I felt for her…
I see my narrowed gaze. I’m glaring at the off-screen paparazzi and yelling at them to get the fuck out of her way, but my words are muted as the music intensifies.
Jane’s sob is silent on-screen, but I can still hear the pained sound in my ear. I can still feel the forceful push to bring her to safety.
“Just when you think you know what’s coming,” Daisy Calloway says, “life drags you back.”
Rain beats asphalt, littered with car pieces.
The crash.
And then they zoom in on Maximoff diving off the bow of a yacht. Picturesque clips from the summer trip to Greece start playing. Gradually leading into a brighter tone as they linger on Farrow and Maximoff embracing in an intimate hug.

WE ARE CALLOWAY
Returns in April
A car commercial cuts on after the docuseries trailer. How did the production team land footage from the crash? It’s less of a question. More of a disturbingfact.
Paparazzi.
It reminds me that fucking cameramen were on-site filming the event.
Footage inWe Are Callowaymostly comes from the production team, but they also use videos from the media, paparazzi, and fans who posted shit online.
And that emotional trailer just sobered the pub. Maximoff has his arms crossed, and Farrow has a comforting hand on the back of his neck.
I hadn’t thought much about what it must be like for Jane, her cousins, and siblings to watch the docuseries. But it must be hard to see their parents so emotionally raw about situations that involvethem.
This season will be difficult for most of the team. The car crash was one of the worst events we’ve all been through together.
In my arms, Jane is blissfully unaware. Half the pub would love to be as drunk as her right now. She chews turkey slowly with a soft smile.
“You could’ve made that a little happier, Jack,” Farrow teases.
“Yeah.” Akara smiles. “Way to go, Jack.”
“What were you thinkin’, Jack,” Donnelly pipes in.
“Dammit, Jack,” Quinn sighs.
“Yeah, fuck you, Highland,” Oscar cuts in playfully.
Jack is smiling a hundred-watt smile. “I’ll take those as compliments, and honestly, this is one of the best seasons we’ve ever produced. And the longest. The studio gave us twice as many episodes.”
