*SympatheticAdulterer: Tina kisses Duncan while still dating Henry (she was planning to dump Henry, but at that time they were still together). However, she is depicted as no less sympathetic for it, and nobody really acknowledges it after Tina mentions it when dumping Henry; the break-up itself is more focused on since it nearly sabotages Wagstaff's chances at winning the final debate, and even after that Henry doesn't seem to hold any hard feelings over having technically been cheated on.
