I just cannot get over the fact that Mandy chose to stay in the city on the weekend where her girl Ciara needed the most moral support with this pending reconciliation between her and WestD. Part of me wonders if WestD had an assignment from Mandy with his apology to Ciara that weekend. There’s some aspect where he was supposed to firmly reestablish his friendship with her-make amends, let Ciara know she’s too good for him, etc. AND ALSO highlight his deepening relationship with Amanda and how much he cares for her and how close they were becoming as well. I think he was supposed to establish them all being on the same playing field. This was supposed to be a soft launch of sorts for their emotional affair -on the down low of course, but he was supposed to be laying the groundwork. Mandy sees herself as the cool girl that could be fuck buddies with WestD and convinced herself that’s what set her apart from Ciara and why she was entitled to explore things with WestD. Thats why the constant check-in’s; she wanted to be able to smooth things over with Ciara, but from a safe comfortable geographical distance. She probably chose to believe her preferred version of their conversation happened. WestD probably fed into that with his uncanny ability to not ever tell the full truth and have some wildly edited version of the actual convo. She definitely deluded herself and is playing in Ciara’s face by totally discrediting the depth of Ciara’s feelings and by pretending she’s concerned about WestD apologizing to and being careful with how he should be respectful to Ciara moving forward.
