I agree with you, Erin, and at first, I was thinking the same thing Miranda was thinking: “Close that laptop, Nya! Walk away! You don’t owe him anything!” But I did get a kick out of Nya getting to stick it to him one more time, like, “Don’t mess with me! I’m a successful Columbia Law School professor with a lot of disposable income!” Maybe this is one of those things that in real life would be ill-advised, but on a show like this, it’s very fun to watch. The confidence! The dramatic flair! — Marina
I also thought this was a bizarre decision on Nya’s part, but if it makes her feel better about the situation — have at it! I loved the push-and-pull she and Miranda had in this scene together. — Curtis
