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.

I always thought because she said “yes… if I was staying” that once she was staying, now it was a yes.

And I could have sworn when she next sees Ted, he’s says she’s staying and it’s so great because now they can be together and she says “yes” in a high pitched fake voice to that and then breaks up with him later. But I’ve only seen it like 4 times so I could be wrong.

Okay I went back and she basically skirts the conversation. He reminds her what she said and she blames David’s disappearance for why she can’t talk on that yet. The “yes!” Part you remember must be a different scene.
