There's no foreshadowing about Nora.I'm not making a value judgment on Nora's cheating or assigning blame. I'm talking about foreshadowing and analyzing the events as a storytelling convention. If I were to attempt to diagram problems with the relationship between Alex and Nora (who I must admit is probably my favorite love interest, issues notwithstanding) I would assert that women who cheat on their partner will tend to cheat on any future partner as well (men too, honestly). At any rate, I wasn't discussing that so if you wish to refute it feel free. The foreshadowing aspect is only a possible allusion to future events. No other love interest is as intertwined with prospects of marriage, children, infidelity, and divorce as Nora is. They stand up to get married. They raise a plastic baby together. Nora cheats, either physically or emotionally is your choice. Nora's parents are in the throes of a divorce. It isn't exactly subtle.
Also, if you didn't pick up on the fact that Chloe and Nora hate each other you are NOT paying attention. She might not have said "I hate you" but boy do actions speak louder than words.
Bitching about Nora's optional cheating is moot, since intimacy and attention in relationship is essential. If you deny it to your LI then eventually he/she will seek it elsewhere, it's all on you. You can't just stop feeding your dog and then complain that it steals your food instead of waiting for you to feed it once a year, that's just stupid. I'm not the one to defend cheating hoes, but Nora was absolutely justified in doing so. Also, it was made to not blue ball player for too long if you pursue Nora.
Chloe and Nora don't actually hate each other. They have issues with each other, but also want to improve their relationship, as they mentioned on couple occasions. Mismatch of personalities aside, Nora's shitty romance and Chloe's way of handling things affect their relationship. I expect them to improve their relationship after Nora's break up and Chloe's potentially losing to Lindsey.
