This was a mistake

Original Commentary

On one hand, Caleb is fairly athletic, and can imitate just about any physical act that he's seen. On the other hand, he's very egotistical and there are a few things he hasn't ever seen. There are very few characters for whom we'd answer the question "Is he or she good in bed?", but Caleb seemed like an obvious "no". (And no, that isn't a call for tagboard discussion...)

The whole encounter was a letdown in every sense of the word, especially emotionally. Neither of them are big on learning from mistakes, but I'm sure she realizes that the whole thing was a bad idea - Terrence

Modern Commentary
It was disappointing. In retrospect, it was entirely reasonable to realize that Caleb is a self-centered idiot and had neither the knowledge nor the inclination to please a partner.

But it was untapped potential. Anything could have happened. It could have been great. Maybe deep down you expected this, but could you live your life never knowing and just wondering?

I mean, obviously you can. There are always a million things you don't do. Even if you stay home and watch TV there's like 400 channels and you're not going to watch all of them in a given half-hour.

But you know how I mentioned how there was a bit of magic back in the Minerva Theatre days and Sofia could use a bit of that right now.

Unfortunately, Caleb isn't exactly giving magic away right now. Not unless he's on stage. - Terrence
