@CoGreen2.0 Anytime! :) Yeah, he is such a hot mess it's not even funny. They had no appreciation for what kind of damage was being dealt there and I wish Fresh had stopped the entire thing before putting it out so that those problems might've been addressed. That season as a whole was complete crap, and Mike is one of the big reasons why. I do not feel like they thought things through or were even all on the same page when this was put out. It does not play out like something where they actually knew what they wanted it to bring to the show.

Yeah, I know what you mean. It's unfortunate that it's such a vicious letdown. It does not promise Mike will be back very soon and yeah, he does hold back Zoey, who also is too problematic as a character to have been allowed to advance that far yet.
