Original Commentary
Jane tries to be the strong one in the relationship, but she can only be so strong for so long. As unreliable as Robert may be, in most cases he's better than nothing

The originally idea for this arc was to just have a random adventure between Robert and Jane. However, as I was writing, I had a feeling Jane had an another motive for all this thus the idea for going to the store was born. Jane isn't the kind of girl who would up and say she needs something- she's the one who's supposed to give. But of course, if she had just up and said it, wacky hi jinks would not have ensued. -Isabel

Modern Commentary
I mean, is Robert better than nothing? I think Jane's night would've gone better if he hadn't been there and she knows it. - Terrence
