On Cathy and Jade's talk at the bar. I was thinking that maybe Cathy went over to Stephen to hand in her resignation. Stephen, having already seen the Jade video, tries to sleep with her. (the epilogue is him watching it again) Then Jade walks in on them. Shitstorm ensues.
Both sound very plausible.I also think that conversation is quite ambiguous, it could refer to many things, although the simplest explanation is that Jade could be angry that Cathe, her "best" friend, resigned without talking to her first, confronting her with a done deal.
but in these cases I think it's the fact of being an English speaker that counts in understanding certain nuances.
Some key sentences:
Cathy: "I didn't know before going there."
Where did she go and what didn't she know? I feel she went to meet someone (from Swyper) only to find out, once she got there, it was Stephen. Yeah, I know, big stretch.
Jade: "I love you. And I'll support you, even though this is the worst thing that has happened in a very long time."
"The worst thing to happen in a very long time"? Worse than all the students her husband is sleeping with? Him sleeping with her best friend would be worse than that...
This one is definitely fucking intriguing...
