Barrell Bear's point was that sometimes you have to sell your soul to escape and is that worth it?
And, by the no point criteria, then is Wound Up Penguin better or worse than Safety Canary/Totem Mole.
I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

What did happen to the girlfriend of Sharon?
Maybe Sharon found about her little moment with the ex-husband and had her deported?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
When, post-kiss, did he ask her for more than an explanation of her feelings?
The Canary kiss?

HA! Sharon WOULD totally use her powers for evil.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The Canary kiss?
I'm trying to remember this properly -- but it was after she'd started behaving relationship-erratically, wasn't it?
I mean, I saw him doing a lot of passive-aggressive framing, but essentially of "So, what are you thinking? What did that just mean? I'm pretty sure I know ... or do I?"
I'm not saying I wouldn't have killed him, but I also think Jaye was undatable too.

We're all fate's bitch. You might as well go ahead and bend over for destiny now.
I thought "Barrel Bear" was going to be the next-to-last 'sode, right after "Totem Mole." And have you seen/read "Barrel Bear?"

Then why is it that I so wanted them to date and was pissed that he remarried Heidi-Ho?

I've seen Barrel Bear and the finale. There is no way that it could have gone, continuity wise, into that spot. None at all.

Because you're a wrongheaded crackpot? No, I did too. I wanted those crazy kids to work it out. But I was underestimating how crazy she was, and how damaged he was.
I thought "Barrel Bear" was going to be the next-to-last 'sode, right after "Totem Mole."
Eric is trying to convince Jaye that he's over the breakup with his wife, and is ready to date. So it's in the first handful of eps, continuity-wise.
The point of the ep might have been "Okay, be proud in home," but nothing later in the season was dependent on that realisation, or augmented by it, I think.

Yes, it's one of the many reasons why I love her so.

Because it's really funny to watch two undatable people date? It like standing outside the Fun House and watching people run into the glass walls.
