Adding to this, if I had to bullshit up some excuse so Taeshi could copy my homework in hopes of passing as a sane person, it's because Mike's other options finally bottomed out. The fact that Mike called Paulo his "best friend" shows that he's really scraping the bottom of the barrel here. Lucy's off the table, Daisy...has never been explained away as an option because Taeshi is a moron who cannot write. Unfortunately, all Paulo cares about is Mike's dick and his schedule just filled up a whole lot of standing beside Daisy and assuring us that is VERY romantic, so cross him off the list. Okay, still not the end of the world, Mike is still got a shot with James, right? Haha, nope! Sorry you stupid fucking gray cat, he's all in on Team David and if he's not ignoring you, James will be making jokes at your expense. So that leaves...oh dear. Just Sandy. She's gone from Mike's over-the-phone tamagotchi he feeds and waters when not focusing on real life people to the only one still paying him any attention. What joy.
Of course, Taeshi lampshaded the fact that Mike will not look literally anywhere else for alternatives but did nothing to follow through because she is a hack with delusions of wit.
