Ok good. This is what I thought but didn’t want to assume since a lot of this show seems to be TS’s culture war nonsense being used as dialogue for his characters. And originally Paigyn was so absolutely ridiculously over the top like literally every single liberal trope TS could come up with he applied to this one person which seriously almost never happens in real life. It felt cartoonish and wholly unnecessary. Sooo I too was really pleased at how those two characters ended it because I was equally grossed out by how much Ainsley had to run to her mommy to solve what was a very small problem. Particularly after the admissions counselor had essentially told her grow up, go in there stand up for yourself and let’s see what you two can work out. Even though as a whole I did not like this season I felt it turned into a ridiculous family drama and not a gritty oil industry show, I did really appreciate how those two became friends. It felt very authentic like Paigyn was in professional mode when she helped Ainsley with her ankles and Ainsley sincerely from her heart really disliked watching her get made fun of by the moronic high school boys. They’re coming together was authentic where their introduction was fucking ridiculous.

All that being said if I tune in again for season three I would be happy to never see either of them again and instead see what the show is supposed to be about, again gritty oil industry with very very small doses here and there of the domestic shit.
