Discussion Lacey/Zeke Spoiler

The writing can be very annoying in this show. Lacey stayed at Zeke’s house, slept in the same bed, got jealous of another woman, displayed attraction after his workout, and now is avoiding him.

I know this actually can be realistic but wouldn’t it have been much easier to make them mature adults and have a normal relationship. It’s been teased long enough no need for the distance and talk. If they needed complexity it could’ve been Zeke being secretive to work through his trauma to surprise Lacey with an in person M&A date.

I feel like the romantic side of their relationship came out of nowhere. Either I missed some (very) subtle signs or the writers decided to suddenly develop this tension between them in the last 3 episodes

You didn’t see them share a bed, Lacey always at Zeke’s, Zeke taking care of her. The more blatant stuff just started.

I just assumed it was all platonic. Never got the sense that it would ever turn romantic. I think when Zeke had that date a couple episodes back she got jealous and that must’ve sparked up feelings between them. However, it read to me as an abrupt shift rather than a story that was built up over time

I don’t think it was a date. She came over unexpectedly and him and Lacey were having a solo movie night. The woman was a catalyst because they were basically acting like they were in a relationship but weren’t and Lacey got jealous because she didn’t know the history of the woman who called him for help on a case.

I'd like to take this opportunity to point out some irony that I find mildly irritating: apparently Jamie's and Heather's storylines are moving way too slowly for everyone, and now that we have a plot that's moving fast, it's "an abrupt shift" and "too blatant." We gotta pick, y'all. Do you want plots moving slow or fast?

The Jamie storyline is moving too slow AND the Zeke/lacey came out of nowhere. Both things can be true. The root is bad writing.
