When the "Pearl thinks Phoenix and Maya are in love" bit was introduced, it felt a bit exhausting to me. It got on my nerves just a little, but then 3-2 happens. And they give it such a smart explanation; that she has seen so many relationships crash and burn that she sees a man and a woman not being constantly at each other's throats as fairy tale style true love, despite Phoenix and Maya not actually being that way.
This explanation not only makes the bit better, it deepens Pearl's character AND sets up important information for 3-5. Sometimes I just think about that.
