[quote=Anonymous]I'm extra confused about Stella's character at this point.

Earlier in the season, I felt like they were heavily hinting that Paul Marks had done something really horrible and of a personal nature to her when they worked together, and that's why they kept showing her looking grim and disturbed but saying nothing about the deal.

And then in the episode about the upfront, it seemed like her drinks with the ad guys was meant to be particularly upsetting to her because she'd been thinking about whatever happened with Paul, so she was extra bothered by the sexism and power dynamics at that meeting, and the fact that Cory kind of forced her into it.

But now it comes out that the issue was that she feels he stole (or at least vastly underpaid for) her idea and then used it to do something she finds offensive (racial profiling). Which, don't get me wrong, I think is a valid reason to dislike someone and not want to work with them again. But they are saying she was so upset she was suicidal. And again the way they filmed her earlier in the season made it seem like the issue was more personal than that (like he'd assaulted her, or forced her personally to do something really unethical). Not a dispute over IP.

And then Paul does one interview where he expresses remorse, and then tells Stella she's going to get Cory's job, and suddenly she's smiling to herself like it's all working out. What? They made it seem like she was really emotionally upset by her history with him.

It just doesn't add up.[/quote]
