Gelia is hardly to blame anyway. She probably just thought it wouldn't be a big deal, which it actually wasn't; Ada just makes it a huge deal because it allows her to isolate Lunette from Gelia (her last friend besides Ada herself?...).

Manipulating your lover away from her friends, like Ada does, is much worse behaviour than letting a friend have sex on your roommate's bed & changing the the sheets afterwards.

Gelia was probably already asleep by the time Kaya & Lucky Boy were having sex. No one was probably quite sober anymore... She trusted Kaya not to steal anything & indeed she didn't (except some easily reimbursed wine) ... Nothing bad happened... Time to turn the page... Lunette seemed much happier without Ada anyway...

We are just paying viewers - To Lunnette and Ada it WAS a big deal, it's their life so we can only take away how they feel. And it was Lunette who told Kaya she is not welcome in the apt from now on.

A more general observation (not specifically B5, but all of the BCL places): 

A lot of tenants seem to have trouble living together / coexisting with others lately... : Jen (with Vivi) vs Tanya, then Jen vs Vira & Vivi, Jen also had a fight with Aya over Brandon iirc, Aya bickering with Brandon, Aya vs Kaya, Kaya vs Neytiri (or is that settled again now?),...

Now of course Ada (& poor Lunette dragged along) vs Gelia & Kaya, and before Ada (& Lunette in tow...) vs Louisa & Enrique... Zara & Dana not fighting with others, but isolating from them, as they've always done, and with the current dramas, that's probably not changing anytime soon... 😕 

Sometimes I think the forced isolation of Covid (2020-2021) during part of their formative years makes it now harder for young people to coexist in the same house several years later?... Then again, there were always cliques & feuds, so maybe this is just cheap psychology/sociology... But it was never as bad as presently, I think...

And I think Ada (and an unwitting Lunette, as she's subservient to Ada still) blows it up to gigantic proportions, for manipulative control reasons (isolating Lunette from any friends but Ada herself), and this was the ideal opportunity...

I hear you but i still say Lunette was just as annoyed at what happened - As soon as she saw the bedroom her whole demeanor was like 'I don't like this'. She's more emotional that angerful.

Perhaps, but if not for Ada's amped up drama, no bridges would have been burned, I think.

Oh i think they would have, personally. Lunette was far too upset, she clearly sees it as losing something she had with Gelia as a friend. Only my take of course, we'll never know what they think.

The only thing i can say for sure after today is, Kaya must be on very thin ice. Another 2 people she's alienated.

If Lunette blames Gelia, it only proves how much she's under Ada's manipulative spell...

She doesn't blame Gelia for what happened, because that was Kaya's doing, i think she feels let down by Gelia now going off in another direction so to speak. That's what i took from her saying 'She is with her now'.

Why do you think Kaya should care what L&A think of her? Isn't it rather the case that L&A have by now pretty much isolated themselves? I mean, Gelia certainly won't let either of them instrumentalize her, and so L&A remain the ones standing aside.

I don't think A&L have the right to prevent Kaya from entering the apartment, for example, if she's invited by Gelia. Or have I misunderstood something and it's not RLC but L&A who are paying for this apartment?

That's because Ada went totally apeshit mental at Gelia, and Gelia didn't just take it.

Mind you, Ada knew perfectly well what she was doing imo: isolating Lunette from Gelia. And she succeeded (at least for now).

We'll find out soon enough whether the friendship has been too damaged or not, at the moment we can only guess and talk about what we have seen and heard, but soon enough things will transpire.

Keep in mind we have no idea what Lunette and Ada have been through in their past that could be drawing such a reaction from something some of you are calling minor.

Lunette is from a war torn country, she arrived with a backpack and few possessions.  Pretty much everything she has, she has gotten since joining RLC.  Don't know what conditions she left, but could explain why she is protective of her things.

Ada was suicidal a year ago (failed attempt).  I don't remember if she gave a reason why she was.  Could be why she she seems to be controlling of Lunette, fear of losing her and going back to the mental state she was in a year ago.
