I just realized that both Paul and Nolan got a scene with Debbie going "I know the kind of person you are."
Nolan gets to go "I know you, I know you'll eventually come around to giving me a second chance and seeing that I changed," while Paul goes "I know you, you would never abandon your kid even if they were on a different planet."
Really shows the difference in how Nolan keeps trying to make everything about him and his struggle, while Paul actually thinks about her struggles.
The reason why Paul was good for her wasn't just because he was boring and gave her life a sense of normalcy in the middle of all the chaos, he was good because he was there for a woman who spends so much time having to be there for others and forgets to be there for herself.
