Marty and Chip finally cross paths again, but Marty is in the heat of the moment of being wildly problematic. Marty was not written to be a person who sees reason, but his unhealthy infatuation sends him barreling across a line. Todd wants off. This has to lead to Marty getting Chip fired from a second job, right? Right.
As I said, I genuinely don’t remember how the third act plays out. This whole thing is the setup to a format, though not one that is on display here. The story has to do the sitcom thing of rapidly setting up a new status quo, then experimenting with breaking that format down the road.
I’m having vague recollections of scenes- ones that may or not have ever been written for these characters. If they don’t show up in the next handful of pages, they most assuredly were not. Maybe I should flesh them out as some kind of bonus feature? Would that matter to you, no one?
