Eris is a Greyrat. She's absolutely used to this behavior. She's just also the type to declare that she's the "First Wife" despite how much it would or wouldn't be true. Roxy is an innocent relationship prude, remarkably enough, despite season 1 hallway behavior. She would be the hardest one to convince I'd think.

That doesn't make them worse matches, but it does mean that Sylphie's wife status feels apt, with the others aren't quite there yet. Sylphie's also the most openly dirty about sex with Rudy, which helps.

I really disliked pre-teleport Sylphie, and her holding back post-teleport was also annoying. But from this episode onwards her interactions made sense. Her transition is somewhat sudden though. We saw Eris's connection with Rudy over the Demon Continent arc quite gradually and organically. Roxy's been floundering in limbo for a bit. Sylphie just kind of stalled until she revealed herself as Sylphie, then shot right up the ranks. I suppose I'm supposed to see Rudy's time with Fitz as bonding time, and the combination of Fitz and Sylphie was supposed to be greater than the sum of its parts, but I stand by that Eris's progression still felt the best - even if Sylphie as she currently is with Rudy does feel right as first wife. It's just weird that despite all this - Roxy is the one enshrined.
Eris is emphatically in love with Rudues. Literally scream from the mountain tops how much she loves him. She's just tragically stupid to the point of conveying the opposite of what she meant to him.

Even if the intention was to make Sylphie the most emotionally complete relationship...the pace of this season completely ruined it and made what should have been touching into a dull and rote vanilla romance that was more frustrating than it was charming.
