Damn, three betrayals, girl can't catch a break

That's romantic....

Awe... cross double cross, two betrayals the ghost and now her sister....

... Like is the twist supposed to be that Carden had feelings for her the whole time, and she's just gonna be like so beside herself, because she couldn't possibly foreseen this outcome because there's absolutely no possible way that he could have feelings for her? Like it's highschool logic at this point. And just so, blugh🤮

I think that's what bothers me most, the she's supposed to be this incredibly smart tactician, 4D Chess thinking all these steps ahead, but it's absolutely inconceivable that someone could have feelings or affection for her and make a decision based on emotions and not logic. Like that's so impossible a thought, that someone could have feelings for her, and so she's going to be blindsided by all these events....

Dick move.....

No it doesn't!! Pain does not make you strong! Stop telling people that!!!!! Pain just makes you hurt, nothing else. The more we romanticize pain, the more we tell people to put up with pain because it is "worth it" ITS NOT, love should not be painful, and if it is, it's not love, and you should leave! Coming from an abuse survivor who was convinced she deserved it because her love wasn't enough to make him stop.

Okay. So this is YA, we cut the spice scene, lame but sure, protect the kids..... why keep the walk of shame scene after??!?! Her guilt and regret is deeply unhealthy for something in the moment she wanted to do. Not healthy, not a good example for the youth, and could lead people to think that spice is bad and that's not true. Also spice changing I hate you, yuck, grow up or don't be spicy.

Wow.... is there such a thing as negative spice?? Like goodness we were finally getting some where, you actually did the thing, and you just cut to commercial.... just wow...

But cute little Carden would never let that happen😒
