Now that's pretty simple: Allison actually loves the MC, which he in no way deserves. Her righteous fury was a cover for the fact that she wants him desperately to be better than he is. You must have known people who did not deserve their partners... this certainly seems to be the case with the MC. Allison is the tragic heroine... not the MC.That would be great, but Jake is nowhere near being a good person yet, so why is Allison all but ready to jump back in? Her righteous fury from the first episode is nearly gone, and with that dinner scene, she's been effectively reduced to fluttering her eyelashes at him like a school girl.
And here we do disagree. That scene was done well... she resists Mr. Manwhore in the end, and doesn't allow herself to believe that he has changed. That was the right call. He is, as you say, nowhere near a decent person yet.
It may be that the dev doesn't understand the gold thread he has to pull on. But I'm curious. We'll see.
