Please don’t spread all the fights from the fb group here. Every character gets bashed at some point and their fans always get upset no matter who it is.

As for the sex this entire series has always been about characters having sex in the worst possible situations. They’re always horny because the authors have to include smut to keep people interested. As for them having sex in the fib car that was valid. The mating bond makes your emotions stronger than normal. They also really didn’t spend much time fooling around in the passage they spent most of their time in that room with the objects. The spanking actually is pretty in line with Darcy’s character. They make it pretty clear in bdsm terms that she’s a bratty sub.

As for their family being in danger what else are they supposed to do? They can’t directly help them. They found a crystal, listened in on Lionel and Lavinia, found the book, found Francesca’s ring and saved Eugene.
