I have just read what happened in ep 18 of Pick the Stars which just ended and

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

So much glee.

Also, Hagface, give up and stop your bitchy blackmail. When the guy ditches out the wedding to you without a word to go help take care of a sick munchkin and his older sis, you ain't ever going to be on his list of priorities.

Also, HUGGING! COMFORTING! CRYING! PICTURE STROKING!

Did the slapping issue get explained? I can't stop thinking about it now. :O

Yeah.

He assumed (not unreasonably) she was going to dump her youngest sib in the orphanage which would be even more bad than it looks like because people are lining up to give her $$$ to enable to live (leaving out himself because that's a fraught issue, there is a 'Grandpa' (rich friend of her family) that just made her his heir and announced he wants to give her $$$).

It's a 'snap out of it' slap and then she yells at him, and the truth is explained and there is weeping and cuddling.

I am fine with it.

The thing that made me think about though is how gendered my view on all this is - in a much earlier ep (7?) she slapped him and she really had little justification to do so - a guy has a right to be upset if a kid set his house on fire (and he wasn't hitting the kid or anything). I remember thinking 'woooo, so feisty, go girl!' The different reaction is...interesting.
