I want Courtney to experience some actual happiness for once. I want her to win a season, or at least to have a true friend in Gwen. Is that too much to ask for? Instead, the writers derail her character development within a single episode for no discernible reason other than to create "drama" and to have Mal (and Zoey) inexplicably survive yet another episode.

Sigh.
