This was one time I was absolutely pulling for Spe to get stomped into the ground. She absolutely deserved to lose that race. Is it fine to focus on Suzuka? Sure. She's a friend and someone she idolizes. But the moment she let her entire world revolve around Suzuka she didn't have any business being out there in that race. Not only disrespectful to her competitors, but absolutely killed her chance to win. Honestly having her finish 3rd or worse would have hit that point home harder, but shows how far above her general competition Special Week is.
She absolutely needed this. The whole episode she was getting a bit too much. There is worrying about someone and smothering them. Suzuka has things to work through and it's not easy to do that with Special Week fussing over her at every point along the way. Things needed to transition from this caretaker role she took on.
I think it was fine for Grass to be a bit pissed. She respects Special Week and considers her a friend on some level. But it didn't feel going into that race or during the race that the feeling was mutual. This isn't yandere, this is just being disrespected and underestimated.
Now at least Special Week and probably even Suzuka can move ahead. For months and months Special Week has effectively lost focus. Her main goal isn't to run with Suzuka again or be her caretaker. It's to be better than Suzuka and fulfill her dream. Caring about Suzuka doesn't have to compromise that main goal, but Special Week was getting to that point. Now she can get her head on straight and get back to racing with purpose.
It's a longer road for Suzuka. We've seen how long it took Grass to get back to this point. So Suzuka isn't going to regain her past speed or hopefully surpass that speed overnight.
