Oenone:
I do think it’s got to feel awkward to give romantic advice to the person you’ve got a crush on, who’s got a crush on your best friend and your best friend’s new friend, all the while knowing they don’t like/ feel a spark with you. That she’s not being MORE blunt about boundaries is actually what’s strange to me, not that she’s being blunt.

Wait, is this a complaint about Renee or about the writing?

Whenever I see this confusion of in-universe and out-of-universe considerations, I feel like I am reading DM of the Rings or Darths and Droids.

I have no problem with the writing. I just don't like Renee that much. She speaks bluntly and almost aggressively in most situations, which is often not a good thing and results in hurt feelings. It's definitely in character--I just don't agree with said character.

BenRG:
I'd suspected for a while that Renee's life is pretty unfulfilling for her. She's been trying to cure her sense of loneliness and lack of intimate connections by way of random hook ups and found (really unsurprisingly - the hit rate must be very low for this outcome) that it wasn't happening and, indeed, most of her partners were only interested in the next hook-up.

Then she finally and unequivocally opens up to Elliot only to learn that her feelings aren't reciprocated. Right now, she must feel more than a little hopeless about her emotional future. Will she always be the bridesmaid and the reliable friend?

I now find myself wondering if Elliot will recruit Clinton and Brun to help Renee. That could go well or it could go badly. It will most probably be both!

I'm expecting one of Jeph's friends to persuade him to make that one of his alternate URLs and soon.

But that was just a hint at the next romance ! :wink: :-D

Reaver:
Seems odd to see her complaining about being” the mom friend” While she is very quick to insert herself into Elliots issues.

Also yeah, knowing she has a crush on him and told him to take his shirt offnis kinda icky
