User blog comment:SpongeGuy12/How would you make Save the Date a better episode?/@comment-32302692-20171010052943/@comment-31022739-20171010224001

The episode never really addresses Ronnie Anne’s bully behavior because it’s not the crux of the episode’s drama. It has everything to do with how Lincoln was being disingenuous about his real feelings to save face with his classmates.

Maybe if her harassment was more prominent and, y’know, the point of everything, I’d agree that her getting a pass was a problem. But the idea of “Lincoln said bad things because of her bullying” seems to me like an interpretation that ignores context in favor of upholding fanon.
