My take on where Faking It is going.
I know I'm late to this discussion but I figured I would chime in. Everybody is upset about Karmy not being a couple, and Amy sleeping with Liam. I can understand why. With the show being based around Amy's feelings for Karma, why not have the happy ending? I know. However, I can understand where Carter is going.
First of all, you have to think about it. If Karma would have returned Amy's feelings, where do you go from there? Basically, there is no need for a second season and you might as well combine all 8 episodes into a long movie. There is still obviously a lot more of the story to tell.
I do believe there is no question that Amy is a lesbian. We may see her experiment a little more in S2 as she continues to find herself, but it is clear that she does not feel much of an attraction to men. She kissed Oliver and felt absolutely nothing. Remember the part when Shane was shocked because he said he would jump Oliver. We also see in the beginning that Amy just doesn't seem motivated to meet boys.
Karma on the other hand is a little more complicated. You can see from the beginning that she is totally boy crazy. She talks about boys non-stop. She also develops great chemistry with Liam from the start. As for her relationship with Amy, I do believe she felt something after the kids at the threesome. She would not have said Whoa and looked at Amy with passion in her eyes. I think she was in a bit of shock. I also think about the dancing scene at the wedding. She would not have ditched Liam under the table to focus on Amy when the Paula Abdul song came on if she didn't feel something. Why? It's real simple. If I was under the table with my girlfriend, I would not ditch her to go dance with my best friend. That's so obvious. The rejection wasn't as complicated as everyone thinks. I don't think Karma has completely acknowledged to herself that she has these kind of feelings for Amy because she's never liked another girl before. She has always been interested in boys and this is a little scary to her. I don't believe Karma will ever be a lesbian, but I could see her having a romantic relationship with Amy. Does that classify her as bisexual? I don't think so. I think Karma is just about as straight as you can get on the spectrum, but I think she has a deep emotional bond with Amy. Karma is definitely not in the middle. I don't believe Karma would date any other girls except for Amy. I believe if Karma doesn't end up with Amy, she will end up marrying a man.
I know the drunk sex between Amy and Liam was a killer for everyone. I can see two different scenarios playing out. One would be a dream sequence where it didn't really happen, or it is a case of drunk and angry sex where Amy and Liam are both upset with Karma. They are simply finding comfort in each other. For all the Karmy fans, by no means do I think this makes Amy straight or bi.
S2 will be interesting. In the end, I believe everyone will get what they want, but Karma has to do some soul searching. We don't know what's gonna happen when Karma finds out about Amy and Liam's one night stand. I also think a new character will be introduced. It will be another woman for Amy to date. There are still a lot of issues to be worked out. If Karma and Amy end up together it could be amazing, but if it goes wrong, Amy could end up getting really hurt. It could ruin a lifelong friendship. I'm sure Karma was weighing all these issues out. I still believe she likes Liam as well, and it would be easier for her to try and repair the relationship with him.
We have a lot to look forward to in S2!
