Paul says Nicolette caused two families to implode. Riiight. Just keep bad things secret then so everyone can pretend to be happy.
And the hypocrisy angle with Terese. 5yrs. Views are allowed to change, and the mood around 26 Jan has definitely changed and support for Change the Date has grown in that time. Tim Collins is the bad guy for dragging it up to shame her, not Terese for trying to grow as a person in that time. Having the Councilwoman explain the issue was good though.
Edit: Both were clearly set ups for the final few scenes (Tuesday) but Terese doesn't need to be shamed into making that speech. She's accused of pandering but being shamed into a public statement IS pandering. Eliminate the Tim Collins bit, have Terese meeting the Councilwoman to talk it through and then she could just make the speech in support of the Change the Date movement. Nicolette exposing the affair didn't need to be the extra heat for Paul vs Nicolette, that was already established due to the baby issues.
