>>149388977I know they had an episode where Melissa's lack of female guidance was becoming an issue such as her wearing absurd amounts of makeup and poorly applied that had her dad asking Paula if she could talk to Melissa.
I feel like there should have been an overarching character trait in Melissa trying to find a mother figure and this could gave included Paula off and on. After all we see this a bit in Brendon, trying to connect with his estranged father and sometimes seeking his male role model advice from McGurik.
Though we know she got very aggressive towards women dating her dad. Still it feels odd Melissa wasn't trying to cozy up to Paula desperate for motherly approval.
