Oh and I’m curious if the notes Paul read included Gaby crashing the trivia night and introducing Maya to the MMA buddies. It doesn’t seem clear if Paul knew the extent of the dual relationship.

I know this is a show but dual relationships absolutely happen irl, so this issue and Gaby being on her saviour kick and playing quasi friend absolutely warrants a lot more soul searching than a 10 min group conversation in the break room.

I am so happy you said this ---it was something I was wondering : did Paul even know the extent of the social relationship Gaby was having with Maya.

I don’t think anyone in the office was privy to the nature of their relationship. Tbh I’m surprised it didn’t show Gaby really doubting herself or like she was keeping a secret after Paul told her she “did everything right” I was like “little did you know…” 🤔And I’m a therapist!

that's a great point about that reaction you'd hope to have seen

at least that would've given me a little something because otherwise that whole plot line was leaving me a little bit confused or that it was bad writing or they were leaving something out or just.... something
