If she tries to hit on him she's clingy; if she gives him the cold shoulder she's an ice queen; so what's a girl supposed to do? Then (as we're seeing now) he comes back to her again and she forgives his misdemeanours because the guy who promised her the world is coming back, and then he'll be off again, probably as soon as they're back from the Bolt Hole... seen it all a thousand times before in films, on the TV and in every day life. It's easy to sit and blame Casey for falling for it, but I'd wager that plenty of people on here have been in a situation like this before - you don't realise what an idiot you were until you're free from that situation. Hope does funny things to people.

Excellent insight. Are you sure its just on films that you know about this.
