For anyone confused this is what is happening right now.
Prod are acting like it's the date fishtoy but so far both Dr Cross (fake Seth) and Crazy Taco (suit guy) chat paypigs are here as a result of buying this - as far back as Feb in Dr Cross' case.
Doctor Cross, one of the whales visiting, is trying to start a romance arc with Ellie.
"Do you really want to date a high schooler?"
"No, you can drop out."
Letty is great and all, but the whole "are you gaaaaay" thing that she does to every single guy she's trying to fuck with is getting old. It's a very boring way of making people squirm. Glad this weird guy blew right past it.
