I agree that the 'date gone bad' scenario would have been much more appealing.
I do think that the producers lucked out on EM not being able to do those scenes. Given the way her character developed for the rest of the season, it would have contributed to her Mary-Sueness. Instead, we got a moment between Jack and his boyfriend. As it should be, really.
I still dislike SB more. I don't like a plot that requires one of the main characters to be a selfish cow in order for it to work. There is no reason that a script like that should open up with a main character looking like the bad guy. That was horrible. Lazy is too kind.
