I think…yes, there is some groundwork for FinnRose. It wasn’t definitive on Finn’s part, so that’s in the air, but for SURE Rose is in love with Finn (or really likes him).
I liked their relationship journey and I think them together would be interesting – she really showed him his place in all of it. I definitely did get a vibe that Finn was surprised by Rose’s actions – the kiss – in a ‘whoa I never thought of you like that/didn’t expect that’ way, but I think if I were a shipper for them I would feel pretty comfortable about their pairing in Ep 9.
