*** However, ''The Sophomore'' placed her back again in the hole with her fight with Tyler. While it’s comprehensible it's understandable that she finally got felt overwhelmed by moving in with Tyler too soon, readers couldn’t relate to her at all, because every time Tyler tried to talk, she either avoided him or started a whole new fight. It got to a point where even ''[[DesignatedVillain Sebastian]]'' was the only person actively supporting Tyler while Abbie got the gang supporting her instead of remaining neutral or give Tyler help too.
