Again, I think Les is indulging herself in this small way to KEEP herself from doing anything nastier. When I’ve had ugly breakups, spending lots of time with my ex did not bring out the best in either one of us.

She could be acting a whole lot less petty than she is – anything on as huge a scale as what Robin did wouldn’t be feasible for her since she’s not already in the public eye, but she’s in a position to wreak havoc in the private arena of the Shortpacked! main cast. On the other hand, since Leslie’s always been one of the more selfless and mild characters IIRC, it seems kind of odd to see her pushing Amber to risk her brand-new promotion just to make her (Leslie’s) life more convenient. After all, Amber is a friend but “being able to keep the two ex-girlfriends from working the same shift” is not in her job description. I think I’d have been less surprised if Leslie had freaked out and tried to manipulate Amber into firing Robin altogether, or else just quit the store herself.

Then I realized that she would add an interesting dynamic to the Shortpacked cast. Assuming she’s not been revived long enough to have significant off-camera character growth, she’s someone I could see Amber hiring, seeing something of her younger self in her quiet, self-depreciating ways. Amber would see herself as a mentor, determinined to bring out the girl’s inner strength…

…right up until she discovered her history with Mike. Drama and hilarity ensue. As a bonus, it would fuel all sorts of spec in DoA, where they’re already roommates.

Now I really want to see this happen.

Right? Right?

… I’m reaching too far to make an almost non-existant point, ain’t I?
