Shane and Ilya were all of us during the moving climax of episode 5, captivated by Scott (François Arnaud) and Kip's (Robbie G.K.) triumphant breakthrough right there in the middle of the rink, in front of the fans, teammates and cameras.
It was a rousing development, which immediately inspired Ilya to pick up the phone to say two words to Shane: "The cottage."
Connor Storrie, who plays Ilya, has teased that the season 1 finale will be true to Rachel Reid's novel – to a point. We won't spoil anything, but Heated Rivalry the book has four sequels (and counting), and Heated Rivalry the series has officially been renewed for a season 2.
