Anyone can bend down and pick up nothing, Georgina.
We'll have to see if Evelyn is a bit smarter next week.”
All of this! Intelligence has very little bearing on affairs of 'love.' With more experience, she'll be able to spot fake men a mile off, as well as act upon what her gut is telling her. Society teaches giving the benefit of the doubt, which can be dangerous ehen you are insecure and desperately want to believe thst your love interest would never hurt you. The denial can be strong, even ehen there is strong evidence to suggest that your love interest doesn't respect you or have your back. I have only had one experience with a dodgy woman, and boy did I own and take in that experience to where I know the energy of a person who doesn't mean me well now. Can spot it a mile off, which was what I tried to explain about Jackson early on. But at that stage, viewers seemed to love him. A lot of ppl bury painful experiences and in turn don't extrapolate the 'lessons,' from them that will come in handy in the future. Georgina strikes me as one of those ppl. She doesn't seem to examine herself either, because she is already so insecure.
