Now that we know about Zane, I am even more confused about the Erynn / Alexis conversation at the end of episode 5.
er "We used to tell each other everything! And now I found out about this?"
er "You know how I feel about him."
er "I came to you to talk about him so many times. That I miss him. That I can't wait to finally see him again."
er "I even told you 2 days ago that he's back."
er "But you knew that already for quite a while, right? And didn't say a word."
a "Uhm..."
er "Yeah. I saw the pictures. I know what you have been up to."
er "You even lied about the concert."
Erynn has had zero contact with the MC for 5 years (and she has had a boyfriend with who she had a sexual relationship with during that time).
The conversation would make some sense without Erynn talking about her feelings for the MC, as they used to tell each other everything and now Alexis is not only not telling her things, but is lying about what she is doing.
But then Alexis possibly acted like that (or why the secrecy) because she knew about Erynn's feelings, but where did these feelings magically come from and when did they start (as they didn't stop Erynn from getting involved with Zane)
Erynn supposedly likes (or loves) the MC so much that Alexis felt she had to keep her and MC a secret but it was OK for Erynn to get involved with someone else.
With what we know now, it seems like so much unnecessary drama, and Alexis should have just said 'Remember MC, ... well we meet on the plane and I have been seeing him since then'
Erynn bringing up Alexis sleeping with Ethan was weird then (and even stranger now that we know about the blackmail)
For friends that used to tell each other everything, I assume that means that Alexis knows all about Zane and Ethan's blackmail (otherwise Erynn is a bit of a hypocrite for using that statement).
It is a bit weird because 5 years ago Erynn liked the MC like a little brother, and it's totally normal that she wants her little brother back... and even though he professed his love for her back then she doesn't know wether that will hold the next time they meet.
She also can't know that she's gonna get and hot and bothered in the presence of the older MC.
It would be weird if during those 5 years she was saying "i love him and i want to marry him" or other crazy shit to Alexis.
When Melissa teases her she denies that she wants any kind of romantic relationship with the MC... perhaps lying to herself at that point.
At best she knows that the confession and her non-reaction to it, might come up again in the future.
Maybe once she sees him and starts to get reacquainted she wants it to come up again, but not before...
But Alexis (perhaps wisely) seems to think that there's more than "childhood friend" in Erynn towards the MC.
Zane is a non-issue, wether she was in love with the MC or not, he was gone with no signs of a comeback, she had to try and move on...
Alexis apparently is clueless about Ethan and Erynn current status, when you bring him up in the most recent date all she knew is that they see each other from time to time but aren't dating.
Unless you know, lying again.
Both girls might be playing a little fast and loose with the truth...
