Don't let that stop you, it doesn't stop the rest of us!I noticed this but thought I was jumping to conclusions.

I was so weary of riding DPC's emotional roller coaster after this episode that I put it aside to go off and play other games for a while. One of them was the prologue to Chasing Sunsets. Ya know, even though that game deals with some heavy topics, and ended on a very tragic piece of news, when I finished it I didn't feel nearly as emotionally exhausted as I do after an episode like this.Yep, and then it triggers my anxiety causing me to lose my appetite for about a week because that's how much this game has a hold on me.
P.S. Just want to say I'm so appreciative of all the Maya and M&J love these days in the thread. When I first started posting in this thread I felt like a pariah for liking them, but now I'm not alone anymore and it feels good.
I agree Melanie is being heavily implied, but the scene of her on the treadmill makes that highly problematic. Sigh. Four episodes later and we still just don't know enough to really speculate about the side bitch.His room was untouched by the Jocks so that makes people think he leaked the Cathy pic and that he's somehow in league with the Jocks.
Some people think so, but I don't. We still have that scene in Ep 2 where he's talking to his other "girl", but Melanie is on the treamill in the gym at that time, so it would be very risky to have that kind of conversation in such a public place.
Just because Melanie's biting her lip doesn't necessarily mean it's a sign of attraction as it can also be a sign of nervousness, but being nervous still doesn't mean he's cheating with her as she may simply be keeping a secret for him which is why she's nervous when she sees him knowing what's just happened. Also, if it was Melanie, you would think she wouldn't be so willing to have sex with the MC in Ep 4 if she wants to be in a relationship with Chad.
1. He doesn't love Sage (never has)I agree Melanie is being heavily implied, but the scene of her on the treadmill makes that highly problematic. Sigh. Four episodes later and we still just don't know enough to really speculate about the side bitch.
Maybe instead of focusing on who Chad is fooling around with we should ponder why Chad decided to break up with Sage now? I mean it's pretty clear he hasn't loved Sage for some time (if ever), so why break up now? I'd have thought Melanie and Sarah seeing Sage kiss the MC would have something to do with it, but the scene seems to play out the same way (word for word) whether they kiss or not.
Clearly there is some other reason that's actually driving this. Melanie definitely knows something, but isn't happy seeing Sage furious. Chad is obviously hurting Sage, but I don't get the sense he wants to do that. So what gives?
If he really is gay and just using Sage for cover, why did that stop? Maybe it's because he's no longer with the Jocks? It sure seems like he wants to rejoin them later, so I doubt that. Maybe Melanie needs to break them up for some scheme and just feels extra guilty watching it play out? Possible, I guess, but it seems outlandish that a scheme would hinge on either Sage or Chad being single; even if the goal is just to distract Sage, that's a hell of a way to go about it!
I'm not seeing any obvious answers. Anyone else got an idea?
The thing I think you're neglecting is that Jill is written badly this episode. So when she says "Maybe it's best not to tell him" I think we're meant to take that at face value.Except is Jill really the type to just be like, "Oh, he doesn't want to spend time with me because he's helping out a sick friend, I guess I'll take that as a sign that we should stop seeing each other but I won't tell him and simply avoid him from now on"? Because I certainly don't think this is who she is.
Jill does not seem the type to cut off contact with someone without telling them why, so when she says, "Maybe it's best not to tell him", she must be referring to something else. Maybe she means that she won't tell him it's because of Tybalt, or maybe she won't tell him they can't see each other, or maybe the "he" is Tybalt and she's not going to tell him that she didn't break things off with the MC in the hopes that things calm down and he cools on his threat to file charges. But I don't think it means she'll just stop being with the MC without an explanation.
Eh, it was about what I was hoping for. Enough money to influence the plot without trivializing everything, and some character development for the MC and his parents. I'm curious to see where the diary leads. I'm also wondering if those clothes are going to serve some purpose going forward.Yes, but it was very underwhelming considering all the theories that were floating around beforehand, many of which were better than what we got.
I mentioned all this in my post. The first two have been true since before the MC met Sage.1. He doesn't love Sage (never has)
2. He has someone else and is happy according to that one Jock.
3. He isn't with the Jocks anymore, meaning no more machismo charade to keep up meaning Sage isn't needed anymore. "Its not you, it's me"
Also I'm pretty sure his removal from the alphas is permanent. Doubt he wants to rejoin anyways.
I've got it all sorted!I agree Melanie is being heavily implied, but the scene of her on the treadmill makes that highly problematic. Sigh. Four episodes later and we still just don't know enough to really speculate about the side bitch.

Alright, time. I'm suspicious about Jade.I'm not seeing any obvious answers. Anyone else got an idea?
Regarding the whole, "Maybe it's best not to tell him", she only says this if your relationship is already going nowhere, otherwise she meets up with you at the auditorium and she shows up for the impromptu date.The thing I think you're neglecting is that Jill is written badly this episode. So when she says "Maybe it's best not to tell him" I think we're meant to take that at face value.
She'll completely ignore the MC if he didn't make out with her in Episode 5 (kissing her on the first date might also work): she doesn't ask for his help with the piano, nevers telling him about Tybalt and obviously trying to avoid interacting with him in the library. Even if she flirts the rules and calls the MC, she still doesn't mention Tybalt until the MC tries to make out with her again, and then only to explain why she's ending things.
I think it's fair to say that Jill really is trying to comply with Tybalt's ultimatum, so I don't see why an (alleged) show of disinterest in her by the MC would make her LESS likely to end things. Doesn't mean I buy into the reasoning, but we do have to consider what DPC seems to intend as well as what would logically happen based on earlier scenes.
That said, I'm certain this is not the last any of our MC's will see of Jill. Something will happen to force her and the MC back into contact, thus provoking a new font of drama from Tybalt. My question is specifically whether there's a new romance path on the other side, or if the only way to date her successfully is to force the issue now. My gut says this isn't the point of no return just yet, but I could be wrong.
Eh, it was about what I was hoping for. Enough money to influence the plot without trivializing everything, and some character development for the MC and his parents. I'm curious to see where the diary leads. I'm also wondering if those clothes are going to serve some purpose going forward.
That was before he settled in to being out of the Alphas. If he's happy and doing alright with his side piece why turn them away to return to foolery with the Alphas? Besides he still hangs out with them so it's not like he isn't speaking to them.I mentioned all this in my post. The first two have been true since before the MC met Sage.
The third is newer, but I disagree. Chad's last argument with Sage was when begged her to intervene on his behalf. Why do that if he didn't want to rejoin the jocks?
She a ho, though .Also, if it was Melanie, you would think she wouldn't be so willing to have sex with the MC in Ep 4 if she wants to be in a relationship with Chad.
He's not trapped in a room in the same house, obviouslyI don't get what Bella meant by this exchange

What was different?
Which path got update? Both? Dik or chick?
agreed, but in the scene in the bathroom the writting on Jill toughts are kind of off for an adult character thoughRegarding the whole, "Maybe it's best not to tell him", she only says this if your relationship is already going nowhere, otherwise she meets up with you at the auditorium and she shows up for the impromptu date.
If I was kinda into a guy but I could see he wasn't showing much interest and then someone told me to stay away from them because they were a bad person and I felt awkward about having that conversation with them, the easiest solution would be to simply stay away from them which would be the natural course of events in a non-existent romance anyway.
On the other foot, Jill showing up and inviting the mc to a romantic picnic was a bit silly, but maybe she simply didn't know what to do about the whole situation, she obviously likes the mc, and when he went to kiss her she panicked and spilled the beans.
Jill has always been torn with her emotions with the MC (calling herself stupid and then smart in the same sentence when she cooled things down that night on the couch, getting hot and bothered and then upset with herself when she "peeked" in the bathroom). This just further complicated things for her and she kinda handled it in a messy way. To say it's bad writing simply because it's not how you'd handle the situation is probably not the correct assessment.
She's very "prim and proper". When you're being a dick in the bedroom scene and say something about liking her dorm the second time, she blurts out "shut up" and then apologizes, even though she said it in a joking way. And when you swear while telling her you won't let Tybalt get between you both, she looks down and says your name in a mildly chastising way. It's consistent. The scene in the rain where she doesn't stop you groping her tits while kissing her, that's actually some serious relationship progression right there. She doesn't quite move at the same speed as say, Mel or Sarah...agreed, but in the scene in the bathroom the writting on Jill toughts are kind of off for an adult character though
Yeah, I agree with these...sexualizing the mother like that without any intention of incest will just sow chaos.just random things:
- I like Maya and Josie even if I got no chance of anything wth them, Maya slapping that psycho bitch was good to see
- can't see the point of show MC's mother tits, that was weird
- even if is not the kind of woman I usually like, I need to fuck Sally. BAD.
- Jill is sometimes written lika some japanese fictional character instead of a shy real person, that's a little flaw but nothing too bad yet
