Mad Cat:
Who knew Brün was friends with Raven-Symoné?

--- Quote from: jheartney on 14 Jun 2016, 19:28 ---i'm wondering what Renee's relationship is to Brun. At a guess, I'm thinking not immediate family (though this could be wrong). Therapist? Social worker? Old friend? Also, did Brun rescue the soggy phone number from the shower?
Renee, aside from being overprotective, seems destined to get into a confrontation with someone in the main cast. Maybe Claire, if Renee goes on the warpath accusing Clinton of being a sexual predator. Or maybe even Emily. May the wild rumpus begin.

If she's a therapist then she's not a particularly good one. Being overly cautious is one thing, but she comes off as paranoid.
jheartney:
I'd been working off the assumption it was a different Renee, though I guess it's plausible they are the same. Assuming Chad the hunky boy-toy is the same as Chad the dorky store clerk, then we seem to have a certain latitude with character design.
Still wondering what Renee's connection to Brun is. (Although not interested enough to want Patreon spoilers.)

If I may defend Renee here, she knows nothing about Clinton, and there are plenty of predators out there. And Brun could well be vulnerable to them. The apartment above the bar arrangement suggests Brun was placed in the job/living setup by some sort of social services arrangement. Though I guess it does seem a bit strange that you'd place a vulnerable autism-spectrum client in a dive bar.
hedgie:
I'll have to agree there. From Clin-ton's perspective it's mostly an annoyance, even if Brun didn't have social difficulties her Renee is right to be concerned. In my own experience, it's better to look out for one's friends. I've *been* in his situation[1] where after having to get my friend cut-off at the bar on her birthday, convinced her to have a couple of glasses of water whilst waiting for a taxi. Her BFF[2] didn't trust me. Yeah, it cost me in extra cab fare since I had to carry instead of one drunk person up to her flat there were two, and make sure that their flatmates were taking care of them. Do I understand why her other friend thought the way that she did? Hell yeah. I would have done the same thing.
[1] nothing burning down, but dealing with someone who was in a vulnerable position
[2] I *really* hate that term, but it applies here
