The retcon chapter DOES feature Sue being hostile towards Mike out of nowhere. Most other examples were in the immediate aftermath of Lucy leaving, when Mike was acting all secretive about what had happened during December. The retcon is set too late to fit into that period, but I put that down to it being a sloppy and unnecessary retcon that mostly serves to underline what a hypocritical soggy bitch Paulo is.

The impression I get from the comic sans-retcon is that after Rachel's party, Sue eased up out of pity. Sue was still mad at Mike for keeping secrets and chasing Lucy away, but her reaction when he said his piece doesn't look angry, more shocked and a bit guilty. Between that and Mike's drunkenly going "NONE a'you act like friends!" I think Sue and the rest of Mike's friends started trying to be nicer to him - it's a few chapters later when he gets into the MMO that they all play.

On another note, this page lends further evidence to David being a psychopath. Look at that grin.
