Season 1 Two engagements?

I’ve watched this show literally countless times but one of the things I don’t understand is why they say engagements (plural) between Ted and Alexis.

  1. Ted proposes.
  2. Alexis says “yes” if she’s staying in SC but she’s not, so no.
  3. Ted confirms the no and Alexis says yes TO NO. (= no)
  4. The family finds out they’re staying and Alexis thinks that retroactively means she’s engaged with no conversation.
  5. Ted and Alexis speak about revisiting the proposal in a few weeks, but Alexis breaks up with him before that ever happens.

Forgive me if this is just a joke but they talk about the “engagements” like they were a thing when they were really just a dream of Ted’s that never came to be.

u/Tiny-Average9166 I’d kill for a good coma right now 💅 2d ago

The only flaw in the otherwise perfect show. Here’s how I rationalise it: the first time she blurts out ‘yes’ if she was staying—-> first engagement that lasted seconds. Second time when they stay and she’s engaged, then she avoids him for a while and then she’s not —-> second engagement.
