I think my biggest issue with this plot is Riley's reason for lying about her feelings (and yes, she's obviously lying, Rowan is playing that perfectly...with a desperation of trying to convince herself) is twofold. Number one, she's trying to be a selfless friend and she wants to see Maya happy, and number two (and honestly I think the bigger reason) she's terrified that if she and Lucas date and break up they will lose their friendship...this is something we've seen her express from the beginning actually, but it really bugs me that she is not acknowledging the fact that if Maya and Lucas date and break up that will essentially end her and Lucas' friendship as well, because as has been made abundantly clear Riley will always choose Maya.
