Was I wrong about Hannah all along?

Or maybe the shower session afterward.

Wait, where was I?

Thats why she thinks youre leading her on.

Even his sister isnt really on his side.

This definitely seems to be a boys versus girls issue.

He admits that, yes, he led her on.

And everyone at home who has ever had to deal with dating men shouted, Yes!

at their flat screens.

They hug and decide to keep things platonic and work on their boundaries.

The next morning the house looks like an absolute fright.

There is just shit everywhere.

Kyle, as he so often does, starts cleaning the house.

We see a bunch of pictures of him and, well, it feels like a personal attack.

At least sheknowsthat she lives like a slob.

The thing about a share house is that you are always going to be metaphorically wiping someones ass.

Hannah says she doesnt cook or drunk eat so she shouldnt be blamed for the messy kitchen.

Yeah, but someone else is making your meals.

If you all pay the same and do the same amount of work, then its no big deal.

She says, If you dont wake up early, maybe take a night shift.

There is no judgement there, but I feel like Hannah and Paige read it that way.

Then Kyle says her one job is to take out the trash, which she doesnt do.

Hannah is the one who made it about herself, and that is why Kyle then went after her.

isnt the right retort.

Ooooh, that is a low blow.

Its a blow that is so low only Stephen was able to look it in the eye.

(Sorry, I couldnt resist.)

As shes about to leave again, Hannah says, Hes clearly insecure about his relationship.

Its not his fault that she singled herself out for criticism.

I also understand Hannah not wanting to be yelled at by anyone.

Im the same way, but that doesnt mean the answer is to yell back or make personal attacks.

The answer, maybe, is to apologize and say youll do better about taking out the trash.

He goes in and tells Lindsay that his brother died.

It seems thats not meant to be.

We all love people fighting about the trash.

We get off on Hannah and Luke fighting about whether or not they were only friends.

We can laugh at Lindsays latest eruption over petty matters.

It puts everything else into relief and makes you pain for those who are going through it.
