I think the fireworks moment in "Pink Flamingos" will allow me to believe just about any level of smitten-ness on Eric's part from that point onward.
I got stupid. The money was too good.

I think the reason that Jaye is so receptive to Eric is (from what they reveal in other episodes) that Jaye has never met a guy like Eric before. He is this new and "just her type" fellow who has impressed her from the get-go. Well as far as I can tell anyways.
As for Eric being so open after what his wife did to him? I don't buy that either. I mean, we haven't seen him deal with Heidi so far and you would think that you would need to sort of deal with that emotional baggage before you start another "romantic" relationship.
Is all this early smoochage really Eric treating Jaye like rebound girl? (Even unintentionally so?).

What is even happening?
I kinda agree with you, Allyson. But did you read the scripts all in a few days or spread out like 1 a week?
Not Allyson, but I think she actually got to see that episode, not just read the script.

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

No, I saw the episode.

I do believe that Eric is smitten with Jaye, because who wouldn't be? She's sort of magical and loony and sexy and funny. But he's also really, really broken and could just be looking to fill that spot left by Heidi.
I'm a cynical, cynical gurl though.
But isn't Jaye, too?

At 24, you're rarely as cynical as you think. I wonder if, like Inara, it makes more sense in context

I need a new tagline.. submissions are accepted.

I think Eric realizes he is broken in "Lying Pig", at the very end he realizes he can't be with Jaye till he works through the whole Heidi thing. I think that's the point of the episode, and "mending" the animals were talking about (the mending of Eric's broken heart).
Allyson have you seen all the episodes??

I think the show has given me a weakness for bartenders. Last night I met a friend for a drink, and our bartender was very Eric-like (though not quite as pretty.) The first time he asked me what I wanted, I totally forgot what I wanted to drink.

My "big" nipples gave me an even bigger complex.
New here. Allyson, how did you see some of the episodes that haven't aired? I'm v. curious!
