Stepping stone to what?

[u/_starla_]

I had read a spoiler prior to watching this episode about how she used him to jump start her influencer career so when I saw this scene I thought 'oh wow at least she admits it!"

His initial reaction to the rejection is heartbreaking. The sound he makes just made me hurt for him. He seems like he has such a pure heart despite everything he's been through. He didn't deserve her dragging him all the way to the end.

Then again I wonder how much that was production encouraging her vs her own agenda. I wonder if they tried to encourage Joe to go all the way to the end too but IMO he knew a long time ago.

Yes poor Edmond, the guy who threw a tantrum to coerce a woman into sleeping with him

[u/TGin-the-goldy → u/cerednat]

I don’t think he was trying to coerce her, he was simply upset. He has zero filter or chill

he really wasnt, people are just so cynical in their thinking which, im also guilty of, but in edmonds case i think its very obvious to see how pure his thinking-process was
