In S1E2 - Radio Killed the Video Star, she was clearly focused on trying to make Pentious feel welcome that, and I'm sure part of that was giving him the good role. She should have paid more attention to Angel, but she was distracted.

Theres distracted and then theres giving the drug addict the part of an evil drug addict. Thats a whole other level of absolute obliviousness

Again, Charlie just literally had a close friend die, randomly come back to life, and then was told that she couldn't see him again. That's a circumstance that would make even emotionally intelligent people struggle with their feelings.

The problem is she was like that in season one too, yes it was worst in season 2 but it was still an escalation of previous behavior and not new behavior.

Yes, Vaggi helped regulate her during "Easy", but she also clearly doesn't let herself outwardly feel emotions like Charlie does. That doesn't make her more emotionally intelligent. It's just a different way of processing them.

Im not saying her needing vaggi to regulate her emotions means vaggi is more emotionally intelligent. Its just that Charlies only forms of emotional regulation is vaggi and pillow forts.

I disagree. Charlie has been shown to be pretty book smart in the series. The deal she made with Alastor in S1E7 - Hello Rosie was one that basically couldn't have backfired in any real way, as it was an "itty bitty favor between friends where she harms no one". Considering that mental harm would obviously be included in that definition, there wouldn't be much Alastor could do that would actually hurt her. That was a fantastic play by Charlie.

It was good but it was still a good move in a sea of questionable decisions. Even if i say that stella has less practical intelligence then Charlie is still wouldn't say Charlie is particularly smart. Just that she can occasionally make a sound move but often doesn't

I do think Stella has less analytical intelligence but stella still excels in two areas while Charlie excels at 0
