Yeah that surprised the heck out of me because of how intense it was. I wonder if they will make the yoga class a regular thing.

The yoga thing made me cry...

David thank you for these sensible and insightful thoughts—I couldn't agree more. It felt so cleansing and perfect, even though heartbreaking, when Erica was giving her break-up speech to Ethan. That was exactly the right thing to do and it was clearly headed in this direction for several previous episodes. These two love each other, they are are just not right together. It's so important to be with the person who will truly let you be yourself, support your dreams, and in short, be compatible with you. Erica's courage to let the wrong person go and be true to herself is enormous—it took a lot of guts, but in the end it will lead to genuine happiness, joy, and fulfillment rather than "settling" in order to feel safe and therefore stifling her potential for growth.

I'm not sure that's the point of this segment. I don't doubt the veracity of your story, but I think you are misinterpreting Erica's decision. Her decision - for business - is not one driven by self aggrandizement. Nor is it meant as an abandonment of love. Rather it is her pursuit of her 'truth'. The relationships left behind were those that she knew and came to realize were not 'right' for her - in the sense that following or continuing them would be a betrayal of self (and others), ultimately leading to messy, non-trivial, negative relations. Instead, she chose to leave them, keeping them as positive as possible.
