有说到Ian新线很没有道理，而且每次和caleb 约会都会说和Mickey 在一起有多糟糕But at the same time, stories like Ian’s have highlighted the challenge in parsing character motivations in the context of “reset” storylines. Ian clearly remembers his relationship with Mickey—each of his “dates” with Caleb has involved him telling the story of one part of their relationship as a way to illustrated how screwed up it was compared to his experience with Caleb. But with the show forced by Fisher’s exit to move Mickey into the rear view mirror, there is an attempt being made to give Ian new stories to tell, but we get so little of Ian’s own perspective that it feels motivated more by the writers than by the character.
同时Lip死缠烂打缺少动机，Ian and Lip actually have opposite problems in this case. Ian is moving on without any clear motivation—his time with Caleb at his wedding is not a bad story, but it lacks a clear purpose, and the show has yet to make the contrast with Ian’s relationship with Mickey into something meaningful. Meanwhile, Lip is refusing to move on with no clear motivation: the show is giving us the hard sell that Lip is still hung up on Helene, here giving him the perfect reset button only to see him ignore it. Lip is kicked out of his RA position for painting his wall—while is bullshit, but the show needs him gone to make a point—and happens to land a gig as a houseboy at the sorority, and it’s everything Lip should want. But even as he lands on his feet he pines after his lost love, despite the fact that the relationship was always doomed, there was a weird husband dynamic he’s seemingly blocked out, and she wants absolutely nothing to do with him.
