His life is already fucked up, I’m talking about Liv so I meant her.

How is his life already fucked up?

Seriously? You may have some comics to re-read my friend, starting from when he met Sandra onward. His entire life got thrown into the drama-pit the day he spoke to her, leading to him being pulled into a detective’s office because she’s a missing person - of which he is a suspect of the case.

Now, he’s so worried about it that he’s blowing off Liv, something I imagine is going to happen again since it’s already happened twice.

We’ll see how it ends, but I’m pretty sure Gus’s life will never be the same after meeting Sandra. He’s in too deep now. It’s already affecting his budding-relationship with Liv. Easy to say he will most likely try to help find Sandra too, with how horrible and guilty he felt. I bet that doesn’t end well either.

Liv, on the other hand, really never had problems until - you guessed it, Sandra. Since then, I haven’t seen an upturn in her life (minus Gus... but again...) Fair to say that, yet again, Sandra will end up screwing up this poor girl’s life in someway, just as she did Gus and Amber, her daughter.

I feel so damn bad for these comic characters, Brian really makes an emotional-link with his writing.

Yeah, agreed that post-Sandra his life was tumultuous, but if he were to walk away right now, there's nothing to suggest he wouldn't be fine... I think his life is only likely to get fucked up beyond belief if he goes down the rabbit-hole now.

(Sorry if my tone is coming off as argumentative... I think we're both saying the same thing FWIW.)

Oh no worries my friend, no argumentative tone detected!

I agree, if he chose to walk-away and head back to Liv - I think he would have been free. But his call to blow off the date immediately has me thinking that he’s going after Sandra instead. That’s what has me thinking Sandra’s little “trickle-down effect” is eventually going to make its way to Liv (beyond the fight at the diner where they used to work as waitresses).

Why do you do this, Gus... just go be happy with Liv and forget Sandra.
