So, I was messing around with the latest chapter, and this one exchange finally jumped out at me. It's Cathy & Jade's conversation at the bar which I originally assumed was just Cathy being defeated/humiliated over the cluck. But when I actually paid closer attention, it seems like they are talking about something else entirely.
Look at the conversation, particularly the parts I've underlined:
Cathy: Why are you so mad with me?
Jade: I'm not mad with you. I was upset, but I'm over it.
Cathy: I didn't know before going there.
Jade: I know and it doesn't matter. None of that matters now.
Cathy: You hate me.
Jade: I love you. And I'll support you, even though this is the worst thing that has happened in a very long time.
Cathy: You're my best friend.
Jade: And you're mine.
None of those bolded parts make sense if they are talking about the cluck incident. Why would Jade be upset with Cathy over it? And why would Jade, rather than Cathy, think of it as "the worst thing that has happened in a very long time"?
But the most cryptic line for me is "I didn't know before going there." What does THAT mean? I don't see how this conversation can be about the cluck, it has to be yet another new mystery to add to the pile.
