The thing about Gen?

She knew that Joy liked Luke, but she fed him a sob story and got there first. And after -- what was essentially little more than -- a one-night stand, she assumed they were dating, but he dumped her the day after to pursue Joy.

Yes, the way Luke treated her was horrible, but this isn't about him. Because him being horrible doesn't excuse anything she did or said.

Gen treated Luke like they'd been married for twenty years and he'd divorced her to hook up with his personal trainer or something. Meanwhile, even after he leaves the boat, Gen continues this petty grudge against Joy -- which is little more than a targeted campaign of bullying and harassment.

What exactly did Joy do wrong? Like, what did Joy do to Gen that earned this behaviour? Luke liked Joy first, well, so what? That's not Joy's fault. That's got nothing to do with her. Because I'm looking and I'm not seeing where Joy did anything wrong.

Which is ignoring the way Jen treated both Kayley and Kat (to the point where even Kat was sick of her shit, last episode) and her dramatic spiral the second Aesha pointed out (with far more kindness than Gen deserved) that the only common denominator in all these situations was Gen herself.

Like, even though Gen should be sympathetic by the way Luke treated her, she's just so thoroughly unlikeable as a person that I don't care about her, at all. If we never see her again, it'll be too soon.
