* LovingBully: Zoe's second date is with Aidan Miller, one of her high school bullies. To her shock, Aidan tells her that he picked on her because he had a crush on her, and his behavior was a response to what he thought was rejection. Zoe is so startled that she has an anxiety attack, flees the restaurant, and ends up crying over ice cream. In her article, she attributes his belief that bullying is an acceptable way of expressing romantic feelings to toxic masculinity.
* ShowerOfAngst: After her disastrous date with Aidan, Zoe is so drained that it takes her hours to work up the energy to get into the shower. Once she does, she spends a long time sitting down, feeling like the water is washing away her shame and conflicted feelings.
