Okay, okay! Your solution to helping Hank find a little comfort and resolution to those months of hell he spent being tortured by Maria, was for Hank to meet up with a woman who also wrecked his life and made him miserable for months on end, and now Hank is feeling a bit better!?!
That is the craziest psychological logic I have ever seen! Hank -- in the space of several minutes -- gyrates from shunning Kayla, to accepting her apology and then deciding he can vent all of his most personal woes and feelings (and his love for Bethany) onto Kayla? Onto a woman he knew for barely several hours, and onto a woman who has literally appeared out of nowhere and he rectifies it all in several minutes with her?
How is that possible? And Kayla's reaction is unbelievable, after one moment of muted shock she then acts like they're back in that bar all those years ago and if nothing more than ordinary conversation has taken place. It just not logical or plausible that either character would act that way. It's like two wrongs make a right, or two women who have given Hank trauma can also give him healing to? Maybe Hank could resolve things with Kayla under more normal circumstances, but under this emotionally charged situation... I keep saying it but it makes no sense and the only sense I can discern from it is that of some kind of OTT soap scene.
Hank is a tough cookie but of all the people he decides to tell everything it had to be Kayla? I mean consider this. If you had a girlfriend whom you really loved but for some reason she left you, and then years later you met her again and had suffered from a great personal loss, would YOU tell this hypothetical girlfriend about everything you are thinking or feeling? Without regard to privacy or personal secrets?
I know I wouldn't, and that is why this chapter has got it so wrong with what Hank discussed with Kayla.
Now I bet, come the next chapter, Hank is going to walk into Bethany's quarters and let me guess, Maria is with her, and then... Well there is torturing Hank and things just becoming too emotionally charged.
I am still getting over what happened here!
