Those chapters were so powerful and meaningful and I was so emotional reading them!
Sophie passing the responsibility of management over to Todd is a HUGE deal. She is giving him full control of everything. She is basically making Todd the new her by leaving him in charge of the designs and everything that goes on with the company.
This truly shows how much she must really trust him and how she believes in him too. That business is her whole life, it is like another baby of hers. She has worked so hard for that her whole life and would only ever allow someone she truly trusts to take control. We all know Sophie is a perfectionist when it comes to her work, so she wouldn't just pass it over to anyone.
She must know that Todd will do a good job otherwise she wouldn't have given him this. After everything he has done, it would be expected that she wouldn't trust him at all with her pride and joy. However, even through all of their difficulties, she clearly does.
She could have made the easier decision and put her mum's name down. Estee probably doesn't know a whole lot about the fashion world however, she is a strong businesswoman and would know how to keep a business going and putting the right people into the right jobs to ensure it is a success. However, Sophie took a risk and gave Todd the chance instead.
She knows Todd is good with fashion, she knows he has an eye for it, no problem. However, she is taking a risk by putting him in charge of everything.
The fact that she put his name down means she is willing to give him another chance and also probably wants to do this to help him from falling back into a trap of the gang world again.
I love that even though they didn't work out in the end, she did still love and care about him enough while also believing in him in a way nobody else has ever done. It makes me so sad that they won't ever get to experience that love together again.
I do think Todd will agree to take on her business though. I think deep down he knows it too. This business is everything to Sophie and he has always been her biggest supporter. He will want it to continue to be successful for her sake, because he loves her. I genuinely think Sophie did the right thing by putting his name down. I think it will really save him, even if it is sad that she won't be there to see it.
