While they did work together they never really grew affection for one another. Even one playing amnesiac. He was tolerated but their relationship could not be called Friendly. Tolerated is not the same as friendly, there where too many dead teenagers and a dead Lyle in the way . In season two the tolerated each other out of necessity. In season three she tolerated him due to Peyton but not friendly.

He was not rejected by the gang as he was never part of the gang. He still personally murdered multiple teenagers that major took care of. Killed Lyle who tried to stop him causing heartbreak for Liv. He was not rejected by the gang because there was never a chance of him becoming one of them. His crimes saw to that . The only person who accepted him was Peyton and that was only because of a lie. Also editing the retired monsters as not killing useful peons is not being retired but practicul. Also he rescured Don E due to preventing mass exposure, pragmatism does not denote better character

* ReformedbutRejected: By Peyton, and the whole gang, once he confesses he feigned the duration of his memory loss. He truly made an effort to turn his life around, and says he wanted to change his life and how people viewed him. He simply lied due to his own fear of rejection, not to screw over Liv and Majld. He only returns to his old ways two episodes later after his father has him shot, and even then he only kills those who try to kill him. After this the main cast ostracizes him, save an instance where Liv and Clive seek his help on a case.

* RetiredMonster: Blaine after Liv cured him in "Blaine's World". While he still runs shady operations and returns to selling utopium for a time, he is no longer the murderous villain he was in Season 1. He even tries to give his relationship with Peyton a genuine effort, but decides to tell her the truth about him faking amnesia, which causes Peyton to leave him as his lie screwed over her friends. He also no longer simply executes any subordinate who has failed him. Namely, Don E has failed and betrayed him numerous times, and yet Blaine not only doesn't kill him; but actually races to his rescue when Don is kidnapped by zombie truthers.
