I just do NOT see them writing Ho and Brenda as "friends"
unless it is cause Brenda has an ULTERIOR motive
like she wants something from Jason
say an "annullment" so he can marry whore

so she pushes for an annullment so he can marry whore
and he tells Brenda NO cause he won't let her marry Franco LOL

so he choses Brenda over whore too

now I would love that
