The sexual tension between them was already fairly evident even before people found out about the kiss. Bianca had those same concerns already, and Kendall would have quickly picked up on them. Erica told them about her doubts, but she still tried to support Reese up to the time of the makeout session.

The way she behaved towards her parents and ex-fiance when they visited her. The way she shut Bianca down every time Bianca had doubts about their relationship (in very passive-aggressive ways, like making sure Bianca would know she was going to leave town, so Bianca could stop her). Most recently, making sure Adam knew that Kendall had been the one driving the night Greenlee went over a cliff.

She didnt make sure Adam knew. She was drunk and drugged. They made a point of showing her take the drugged drink meant for Krystal at the party. Thats the reason for her loose lips and openness. IA with R. Sinclair in that we havent seen Reese give as good as she gets yet. She is constantly trashed by the characters in town and its about time she stood up for herself more and ripped them all apart. Id love to see start acting like a bitch when they verbally attack bc so far she's been too passive. I think its her guilt thats been holding her back and taking all the crap thrown at her, but she shouldnt have to

[R Sinclair]

I guess you didn't see the parts leading up to the makeout session. You know, the scene where Erica blamed Reese for she and Bianca going back to Paris, and then when Kendall ripped into Reese at their wedding rehearsal dinner and Erica patted her on the back with her smug ass attitude.

She didn't "make sure" Bianca knew she was leaving town so Bianca could stop her. She was packing and decided on her own to stay and fight for Bianca. Bianca went to stop her after Reese had already changed her mind about leaving.

And Cheap's right on the money -- she didn't make sure Adam knew. It helps when we watch the things that actually transpire.

[DRW50]

I thought Erica patted her on the back privately. If she'd been as against Reese as she's been against some of her kids' love interests she'd have been the one making the speech. I didn't mean to make it sound like Erica was totally on her side, but I think Erica did try. She was harsh to Reese sometimes, other times she tried to be supportive.

Sorry, I didn't see the drugging part of the episode, just some of the main scene with Adam, that was my mistake, I should have watched it more closely. The writing for her story is so terrible I don't pay enough attention, but that's my fault.

All the scenes with leaving and Bianca felt like game-playing to me. Bianca had to feel guilty for suspicions which turned out to be correct, then Reese stays, both of them knowing she was right and Bianca was wrong. If she had wanted to go she would have just gone. Instead it became some big noble gesture on her part.

I don't think that's a good excuse for Reese doing what she did. Reese could have reacted to that in ways that did no involve infidelity and hurting her fiance.

I wouldn't say Reese gives as good as she gets but I agree that she can be manipulative in a passive-agressive way. Like when she almost said that she wished Kendall had never woken up from the coma and manged to turn things around and make herself into the victim. She has an unattractive tendency to blame others and play the victim.

I agree. I'm surprised Erica has put up Zach's attitude. But maybe its not that surprising as Pratt seems to prefer women without spines.

[starshine]

I personally didn't think she was going to say that - I thought she was going to say I wish we never used Zach as the donor.

[RomeAt50]

I definately got the impression she was going to say that. Especially with the way she tried to defend herself after Bianca called her out on it by turning things around on her and avoiding telling her what she was gonna say.
