King B introducing a new character, is clear evidence that Nat will be getting very "friendly" with them sooner or later
Well TBH this follows along the same tractory of TAC's but with a lot more build up. TAC's Anne would fuc|<ing a dude right after meeting them. Nat at least is more discerning, otherwise, she would act like Anne, on her dinner date with Ethan upon meeting that guy she would slip into the ladies' room with that stranger for gooey desert treat for Ethan.
King B regularly condenses it to 3-4 main paths, realizing it can get out of hand otherwise.
