I don’t recall that either, I do recall Andy being really squicked out at the way her and her brother\* acted more like boyfriend and girlfriend. It took him a while to get over that.

\*IIRC they were actually foster brother/sister or step-siblings.

Good point… upon reflection I should have started my evolution with a general relunctance bordering on prudishness.

What was it she said to Ryan when he was hitting on her in Florida…something about how they might have sex after dating a couple of years?

Remember that Erin is not a virgin. She’s been tackled by skeletons.

Erin was reluctant to even kiss him when they got back together, but it was because she wanted him to break up with his GF first not out of any waiting for marriage thing.

I liked Andy in this episode. It was nice to see him really grow a spine. I would like to see him take over the company and make everyone pay for betraying him in the showdown with Nellie.
