Wow, Sandy is kind of just pushing this all onto Mike without asking him, huh? I know she probably assumed he’d want it after their earlier call, but maybe you should check in before you drop all that responsibility into his lap.

I’m really starting to dislike Sandy again. This is not ok. I almost feel bad for Mike

Shh… Do you hear that? That’s the sound of Mike haters converting into Sandy haters.

I still think Mike shouldn’t have chased Lucy like that, even without Sandy calling him back. He should’ve left her alone.

Yeah he totally shouldn’t have done that either way, that was really messed up/selfish and we all know how that played out in the end for Lucy

I had really liked the script version of this conversation when it was posted, but having it more fully fleshed out like this is really something else. So much more complicated and fraught, I love it

And this is the part where Sandy goes in for the kill.

Man, just thinking about all the people that got caught in the crossfire and were screwed over, all because these two try to stay afloat. Oof.

I work with domestic violence victims and I have been saying it for awhile. All the mike haters obviously don’t know the signs of it. It also makes the victims often behave like villains. Everything that has conspired is a clear red flag that mike is the victim and sandy is the true perpetrator. It doesn’t excuse mikes behaviors by all means…

Would you be willing to elaborate some more? :0 I don’t think I’ve seen your comments before and I’m genuinely interested in your perspective!

And that’s when his situation went from bad to worse.

It’s sad to see how Mike went from taking physical abuse from Lucy to psychological abuse from Sandy. Boy just can’t catch a break when it comes to romance :[
