Added DiffLines:

* '''Played For Laughs''': Alice is a LovableSexManiac and running into the one man in the cast she truly desires (and we mean [[AbhorrentAdmirer a whole lot more than usual]]) having IncompatibleOrientation is represented as LaserGuidedKarma.
* '''Played For Drama''': For a variety of reasons, Alice [[InUniverse is]] TheWoobie and Bob was her one last chance to find something that resembled true love. The (often completely out-of-nowhere) revelation that he is gay (and that is gay, NoBisexuals exist, apparently) is portrayed as [[CosmicPlaything more evidence of an uncaring, sadistic universe pulling out all the stops to screw Alice over]].
