... That push was so telegraphed it actually hurts to watch happen. Plus it felt like it was... too convenient of an excuse to make the Duke save Ripley and break off all ties with the Count's family. I dunno, I feel like a slap would've been better? Maybe more interesting (although also JUST as cliche) than just pushing Ripley off a god damn ship.
That being said, OH MY GAWD SHE SAID SHE WAS JEALOUS AND HIS FACE JUST LIT THE FUCK UP XD
