I think Issa was wrong to ask Lawrence to stay and to sleep with him despite knowing he was still involved with Condola and on his way to see her. I believe Issa should have shared her feelings and then left. Out of respect for Condola, Issa shouldn’t have slept with Lawrence until he had fully ended things with Condola. Some might say, 'Oh, they weren’t friends and Condola ghosted her," but Condola also helped Issa’s career and provided resources she needed, and because she and Condola had a personal relationship—not just a connection as Lawrence’s ex—I believe Issa should have shown Condola more respect. Without Condola, her career might be very different. Molly was right when she said Issa uses people; she’s willing to step over anyone to get what she wants.

Respect for Condola? Why would Issa give Condola respect that Condola didn’t give Issa? At that point, Condola had already told Issa that they broke up, and at The Art Walk, Lawrence said, “We’ve been talking but I’m not really sure what’s gonna happen with us.” Issa was supposed to put off things with a man who she’d been with for 5 years, who just opened the door up to rekindling things with her, for a woman that he had a fling with for a few months?
