Ingrid, for example, recalls cheating on Mark with his roommate, unbeknownst to him. So she uses her guilt to rationalize the clearly bad move of meeting him. Even Mark's manipulative scheme gradually begins to seem more like a pitifully misguided attempt at reconnecting with someone he cared about. The whole thing blows up, of course, at the climactic get-together where Mark gets progressively more drunk, his horny friend gets less cautious and Ingrid allows...
