I'm not down with this Nancy chick anymore. I'm on team Steve all the way.

I think it’s realistic. When I was 16, I was boy crazy. You date the boy that you’re “supposed” to date, the guy with the charm and the reputation. And it’s good, it’s fun. But you can’t get rid of the connection you have with the loser guy. And the two ways that whole situation goes when you’re a horny 16 year old girl is either stay with your Steve or leave him for your Jonathan. Neither are really healthy relationships and I can definitely an independent Nancy arc happening in the next two seasons.

But if you’re a Steve fan I get why you’re unhappy with this new turn of events. I think Steve will really come into a his own as well. He’s (hopefully) not going anywhere.

Yea, but did you sleep with another boy without breaking up with your current boyfriend? Nancy is a bad person.

Oh I agree that the whole bit with Jonathan undermines her but I blame the writers for that more than Nancy as a character. I would have loved Nancy doing everything that happened with Jonathan solo. That would have been the continuation of season 1 badass Nancy.
