I think we are still waiting for a plot twist with the return of James in which Bella, instead of her husband with whom she has lived for many years, will choose a poor teenager whom she has known only a month.Honestly, the whole Bella 'romance' rubs me the wrong way, but it's downright terrible if the MC doesn't stay with her in Episode 4. We go from Bella literally crying about how she can't start something with the MC to him invading her personal space and undressing her in Episode 5 with no transition. The pool scene in Episode 4 (where the MC backs off and Bella starts something herself) really should have been required to continue her path.
Oher than that, there are two bits of MC stupidity that stick with me. The first is during the Episode 5 Maya/Josy hangout when the MC is all worried about whether he can still date other girls. I get that he's young and horny (and that DPC needed to stall the throuple), but WTF, dude? They just agreed to date you together. How about trying that for a bit before you go looking for new conquests?
The second is when the MC decides to get blackout drunk in the Episode 8 dorm party just because Derek wanted to. Didn't you promise you were done doing stupid things after nearly destroying Jill's piano by accident?
I think it is in such moments that the skills of a writer will manifest themselves. Create a plausible justification for a particular character choice.
