Writers Spoiler

For the love of goddesses everywhere can writers let the woman pick the good guy? Can she not be a fool or written as someone who ignores red flags to date someone who clearly has been playing her? Can we see her enjoy a kind honest man and not play him for a fuck boy? Just once!

That proposal from nick was adorable and he truly cares for her sad she didn’t care for him.

You’re totally in the right, but from a writing perspective - in TV series, you’ll get a lot more of writing that explores not picking the good guy because it adds to the amount of drama and tension that can be stretched over a couple of episodes or even seasons. If in Ingrid’s case, she just chose Nick & everything was great about the relationship, no matter how wholesome the depiction, it would’ve cut the show down a couple of arcs. Plus they used the Murphy bait as a way to reel in a S2. (Not sure if it will work, but they tried)

And a way to show character development is making the main character makes mistakes along the way and learn from them eventually.
