This is Martha’s perpetual problem with Michael going back to his 13th birthday party. She wants to dance and apparently all Michael wants to do is eat and drink. Regardless, we hit a whole lot of plot points with this one. Martha reveals that the other guy that Martha was seeing for the last 10 months was Lawrence. Not only that but she has revealed that her interest in Lawrence was merely a 10-month-long ploy to get Michael’s interest. That’s a lot of time to devote to a passive-aggressive scheme which was clearly not working. Martha has gone for full-up aggressive and as Michael thinks in the last panel, “It’s working.” She has asked him to dance and had made the physical move on Michael twice now. Michael is too easily distracted by food for any kind of passive-aggression to work on him.
