Two reasons:
1. We're finally seeing Marten, our ostensible protagonist, in a situation we've never really seen him in. And his behavior, especially today, invites all sorts of speculation that gets to the root of his character.
2. After the unspeakably uninteresting and interminable Dale/Marigold storyline, this arc seems absolutely fascinating.
One more thing about Marten's (attempt at) flirtation today: The QC cast has a longstanding habit of using "makeouts" as a sort of cutesy noun, generally in place of the more awkward verb construction. E.g. "You could repay me with makeouts" instead of "You could repay me by making out with me." While this is clearly an accepted phrase in Marten's social circle, I can definitely imagine it being offputting to someone else, especially someone on the receiving end of an already-awkward overture. Especially if that overture is coming from a dude who insisted on hanging around despite insistence that it's not necessary. If we didn't know that Marten is a fundamentally decent dude, this whole scenario would seem hella creepy.

Would you rather be shot down by:
a. Delilah laughing at you.
b. Faye punching you.

Faye punching me would be kinda hot.

It really would.

Funny; I'd say the opposite: He may have meant it that way, but there's no way he'll be able to laugh it off as a joke now.
See, she's already decided he was serious. And she laughed. Either of those, Marten could have handled. He's woefully unprepared for both.

--- Quote from: Schmorgluck on 26 Jan 2014, 10:32 ---I stand by my preferred prediction that Delilah and Marten will just have a nice conversation in which she'll give him some insightful outsider's perspective.
--- End quote ---
This. And to be honest, Marten didn't really want makeouts with Delilah. He just wanted a good time to forget his troubles. Besides she might bat for the other team.
--- End quote ---
If so, why did Tai not warn him?
--- End quote ---
She did. That look on Friday said it all.

I think Angus might mind.
