But labeling each other as exes allows for things exes do! Like things that rhyme with ex! :-) That's relatable, right?

For now. Marten isn't over Dora, not by a longshot. What if Dora went into the party, met a guy, and they ended up exchanging numbers? Do you think Marten would be rooting her on?
This situation usually happens after breakups. Both parties say let's just be friends, but as soon as one moves on it gets uneasy real quick. Let's see if Jeph continues the realism or if Marten somehow stops caring about being with Dora even though, as Dora pointed out, he isn't getting any sleep because of this.

Well, as akronnick pointed out, Marten looks like he's finally starting to relax about the whole break-up, and as Baeron said, they are calling each other exes, or at least Marten is, so it's clear that they're both attempting to move on in their own way. Plus, it's not Marten's place to say whether anyone can or can't date Dora, so I guess if she DID meet some guy or girl (or even Tai) at this party and got their number, he'd be fairly cool with it, especially now that they've had this talk.
I mean, it wouldn't be at all fair on Dora if she felt she wasn't allowed to date because Marten wasn't over her yet, or vice-versa. (Although if you ask me, Dora's going to get a date first, since Marten is legendarily hopeless with the ladies.) If they're not going to move into a serious discussion of their respective problems, and I can sort of see why they wouldn't just yet, the best thing they can do now is rejoin the party and have a good time while they're at it.

Well played, indeed.
You're thinking 'pecs', right? I'm not really familiar with gym equipment...

Not saying it was a BAD strip, I am definitely happy that they patched things up.

You could argue that she apologized when they broke up.

Nay. Look at the top of the thing, it's called a "Bowflex". When I was growing up I'd always see commercials for those.
