Wow that was really rude of Shelly


Shes there with her daughter and apparently ex husband Bobby, they're having a very heartfelt moment with their daughter about getting her life together and out of a toxic unhealthy relationship. Then as i would assume her boyfriend comes up and she immediately grins and runs off to make out with him, right in font of Bobby no less.

That part just sucked, soon as i heard her last name was Briggs and they called Bobby i was like "Yes! they're together and married!" then that douchebag knocked on the window and she ran out to him like a school girl i realized what the deal was.

I mean how did she go from crying and sad about her daughter and having a nice moment with her family, to instantly happy and horny to go make out with her new boyfriend?

Interesting that Cole had an almost magical connection with Shelly. Considering the courtesan he was with he likes lively women (to put it politely). I wonder if they will meet again? And would they both feel similar? I'm guessing yes.

The funny thing is that Shelly is talking to her daughter about getting out of a toxic relationship, as she is leaping into one. Red is a drug dealer (though in fairness, I'm thinking Shelly doesn't know it yet). Shelly is the poster child for women who pick bad men. When she was young, she fell for Leo Johnson, who was an out and out scumbag. When she woke up to what human garbage he was, she fell for Bobby, who back then was a pretty much a punk. Now that Bobby has seemingly straightened himself out and turned into a solid citizen, she's lost interest and is falling for yet another bad boy.

No wonder her daughter has fallen for another shitbag. The apple clearly doesn't fall far from the tree.
