That's not how I remember it and it doesn't sound like Dorothy. How I remember it is that she felt she was holding him back because she was too focussed on her career to be the girlfriend she felt Walky deserved (I tried finding it, but there's a LOT to go through and I get distracted by the other story lines)

As for panel one, I’d wager Walky has untreated ADHD or at least needs study habit building. How I remember it was Dorothy got understandably weary of trying to handhold him through it and decided it/he was a burden on her path to being president (a dream she appears to have given up on?) By comparison, Lucy seems more genuinely accepting of Walky as he is, and Lucy’s mental health does seem to be in an overall healthier place right now. (Lucy wasn’t kidnapped and doesn’t place a heavy burden on her shoulders over it.)

This plan feels more cringe than good. Shoulda just brought Lucy imo.

Translation: You’re doing something I like. The second that changes, I’m gonna go right back to treating you like slime on the bottom of my shoe.

also feel bad for Sal, this is all she's wanted. but also what happens if Sal and Danny ever break up down the track? Linda's opinion of her children being hinged on their partners makes it so tenuous and fragile lol

Looks like Billie's comment about Walky getting dragged down below Sal in the rankings was prophetic...

In the midst of this impending chaos, I love the glimpses of Danny here, looking extremely relaxed as he (presumably) chats with Charles and unabashedly displays his affection for Sal. Best case scenario here is that he maintains this non-facade as The Shenanigans ensue, and unexpectedly becomes the one person at the table who is actually not actively Danning It Up.
