Stoutfellow:
Actually, I'd like to see Brun reminding Renee: "Have you considered not making terrible decisions?"

TheEvilDog:
Okay, I do think that the forum is overreacting a little bit, and yes, I am aware I was the one who said someone was going to end up in tears.

But let's break down what's happening.
- Marten hasn't seen Renee since Padma left, indicating that either Marten hasn't returned to the Secret Bakery since Padma left, or more likely, Renee's hours have changed so that her and Marten's paths no longer cross.
- Padma has apparently moved on, but then so has Marten. What they had was a fling and it was flung, end of.
- Marten is still a decent enough kind of bloke to ask how his ex is doing.
- More importantly, Renee and Padma don't really seem to be in contact much, just "an email a while back". Which probably indicates that Padma has pretty much forgotten about Northampton.
- Lets also remember that Renee is still the same Renee that used to date Angus and when he broke up with her, his friends threw a party. (Even with the head transplant)
- Claire has shown on a couple of occasions that she is the jealous type, but she's also shown that she looks before she leaps and that has backfired on Claire repeatedly.
- She and the Augustus family have also shown that they have the social subtlety skills of a brick through a window.

So who knows what might happen. But chances are we're going to see the ugly side of someone, which will be pointed out by Brun and make the offending party to re-examine themselves. Along with some hasty apologies along the way.

brasca:
I think all of these judgments on Claire are premature.  We don't know how she'll react to the information.  She may come to the conclusion that Marten could've ended things better, but things like this happen when you feel strongly about someone and what's done is done.  Ultimately, she'll conclude that Renee is someone Clinton should be careful about only to find out he already knows.   

And I don't see how this will end with anyone getting dumped.  Claire just moved into the apartment and Faye is likely to take his side and I think Marten has enough maturity not to dump her just because she chose to fish for information. 

USS Martenclaire:
If anything, Renee's the one in my crosshairs atm. Given that she's only met Marten briefly a few times, suddenly unloading a bunch of unsubstantiated gossip onto his partner is a nasty thing to do. She must be aware that nothing positive or helpful for either Claire or Marten will come from spouting all of this - meaning the reason has to be one of provocation or enjoying the resulting drama.

A Duck:
I don't see Claire using this against Marten, if only because that would be a bit TOO similar to how things were with Dora

Maybe this whole situation will blow up on RENEE's face. We've repeatedly heard about how she's not exactly a good person (specially from Angus), but I think we still haven't seen anyone other than Jim call her out on it.
