* LoveTriangle: Teased, but subverted, between Emily, Avishai and Conrad. Emily and Conrad have history, but have since broken up, while Emily is keeping her relationship with Avishai a secret. This makes Avishai uncomfortable as he knows of Emily and Conrad's history and worries how the other man will react. When Emily does reveal the relationship, however, Conrad's reaction is an unconcerned, "Oh, okay," and the matter isn't brought up again.
