Oh, absolutely, that storyline is absurd in any case, but I like the way Edie is like “why should I kiss other women?” (cause honestly why should she), and doing it just for Amanda instead of it being presented as a rite of passage. But you’re right it’s a stupid plot

Exactly! That’s what I really did not like in TBT’s treatment of it, that it was just like, a regular and expected thing. What did that say about people recently realizing they weren’t straight? That they couldn’t be expected to be faithful, they’d just NEED to sow their oats? Get it out of their system? It wasn’t any kind of actual exploration of open relationships of polyamory, instead it was about a newly bi person apparently needing to explore while the other person just…waited. 

Much prefer the way Edie handled it like, oh, that’s what you expect of me? And then being like, actually, that was dumb, why would I go through all that to be with you to then play around with other people? (Though of course, not sure why she’s so upset that Amanda’s still influenced by her ex, considering what she went through with Tim.)
