What is the relationship between Scotty and Lilly? I sense some tension there...or is that just me.
Some X number of years ago, Lilly used to be engaged. A little bit before the wedding (the night before, I think?), her sister Christina slept with her fiance. Needless to say, Lilly and Christina are NOT close at all.
Last season, Christina came back to Lilly's life. Scotty, aftrer having lost his fiance Elisa (who killed herself) was very vulnerable. He and Christina started fooling around. Lilly got pissed. She warned him that Christina would only break his heart and leave him. She wouldn't talk to Scotty or Christina. She and Scotty fought a lot. Sure enough, Christina up and left Scotty without even telling him and disappeared. Scotty and Lilly's friendship suffered a lot because of Christina, but now they're trying to put it all behind them and move on.
I honestly wouldn't know how to describe their relationship. They are friends, but not really best friends. There's always been a little bit of tension between them. Also, when Christina started sleeping with Scotty, didn't Lilly say something like, "you are not gonna do this to me again?" She took that very personally and lots of people thought she was jealous, but most likely she was angry because Christina was once again messing up with something that belonged to Lilly (her relationship with Scotty, which Christina destroyed).
I don't know if the writers are ever going there, to be honest. Some people think Lilly will never forgive Scott for the thing with Christina. A lot of people also think Scotty is too immature for Lil. There is a possibility, you never know. In the last episode, Scotty decided he needed to change and grow up. If he did, that'd certainly make him more Lilly worthy. But then there's also the thing with Christina and will they ever be able to put it behind them? When Lilly holds a grudge, she holds a grudge.
I was watching Dog Day Afternoons earlier and I loved Scotty's reaction to Lilly's biker dude. It was very, "hehe, Lilly has a boyfriend, Lilly has a boyfriend... er, Lilly has a boyfriend?... oh my God, Lilly has a boyfriend, ugh... I hate Lilly's boyfriend." As he realized how serious the relationship was he became more and more bitter. I really liked that, but don't know if it means anything. It would take a lot of seasons for them to work things out.
