Well, Becky and Dorothy already share a half-bath suite with Amber and Dina. It's not like Becky and Dina can't already pull off sharing the room when they want (provided Dorothy and Amber are OK with it, of course).

Becky can just... negotiate a room transfer, to exchange her with Amber, right?

Amós Batista

good luck with that.

No. We refuse to be the cost of doing business any longer.

Taking responsibility for things one can’t reasonably have any control over can become a seed of codependency. More common in children whose parents had very high standards for them. (The Keeners probably did, non-maliciously.) A sprinkle of co-dependency is more likely to make someone blame themselves when others mistreat them, which Dorothy is on the edge of doing with the outcome of the Bad Dads incident.

also Dotty, honey, it would be to her That’s just…that’s politics

“Dotty that is a shitty idea born of fuckin’ huge amounts of trauma and I can prove it because two of the things I’m claimin’ to be upset by are me doin’ a copin’ mechanism!! I know about trauma, Dotty!!”

Also, Dorothy feels way too much responsibility to take care of everyone as a coping mechanism - she needs help to deal with that.

I believe Dorothy, and I am agreeing with myself that Becky was the best one to talk to about this.

Onyx

Well, I dunno about 'pretty connected' - they know the Dean because Linda used to be married to him in her youth

Thanks Becky. You stopped short of directly calling Dorothy out, but you don't know her like we do, so you get a pass. The "you'll have to do worse things as President" angle was in the back of my mind, but it's too abstract a card to play here and now. Presumably Dorothy saw herself learning how to be an iron lady *hand waves* "in the future."

The irony here is that while Yale’s academics are perfectly excellent, the generally agreed ultimate value is not What you know, but Who you know. The networking. Future movers and shakers from influential families. But Dorothy can do that right here and already is, without realizing it. Becky was already an influential campaign manager for a Congressperson, with her finger on the pulse of conservative interests. Great ally/rival to have for bipartisan deal making. Sarah probably becomes an attorney linked in to issues of social equality and justice. Carla’s parents are big time manufacturing sector folks I think? Billie’s parents are real estate moguls in some rural town in corn country? Ok maybe that’s not as relevant presidentially. Walky’s (and Sal’s) parents are pretty connected, on a first name basis with the Dean. Ashur has Mafia connections, good to know for that tacit Mafia backing… Dina is pretty clearly going to be an influential paleontologist, for that paleontology vote. Dorothy can network right here!

Let’s keep it reasonable, Becky- Logically she’d move out at the END of the semester.

Shane Wegner

Doooooorothy!
