Oh, dear, it looks like R and the Dude have an X-factor. Always an interesting situation that X-factor. There's the Seinfeld episode where Jerry finds out his new girlfriend used to date Newman. To Jerry, someone who could have dated Newman couldn't possibly be right for him.
That's not quite the situation 5M has. For her it's R used to date X, and X used to date the Dude. If X could like the Dude and X could like R, maybe R is not right for 5M.
But who in this town doesn't have an X-factor with the Dude?
I suppose it will all come down to who dumped who. If X dumped the Dude because she was too good for him, and R dumped X because he was too good for her, then R could be good enough for 5M.
But if the dumping direction went the other way it would be disturbing.
Of course, it's impossible to really know why someone dumps someone else. Some people really do dump their love interests because they need someone not so good. Maybe so they can manipulate them, or feel superior to them, or even just so that their imperfections will be seen in a more favourable context.
Now was the Dude scowling because R has info on the Dude that makes the Dude look bad or was it the opposite?
I know I'm not the only one curious about this.

Looks like we're not going to find out what the dude's problem with R is but it doesn't matter because R is #1 with a bullet.
Either he's showing up on time and asking questions or 5M is just a sucker for flame-coloured hair.
And she ain't sitting there thinkin' she'd rather be in Kanata with M.
Things do change.
