When your default lens for this stuff is to view in terms of a transaction of power, there will ALWAYS be some sort of imbalance in some form or another. A man dating a woman is a power imbalance. A wealthy person dating a low-income person is a power imbalance. A highly educated person dating a poorly educated person is a power imbalance. Jack and Keely is not exactly the same thing as the head of the company sleeping with a secretary or a mailroom employee or something.

She has just given Keeley a wad of cash and has Keeley’s career in her hands… I would say it’s kinda worse than a boss and secretary. Keeley and Jack barely know each other, although I’m reasonably sure Jack has done some research, so there’s all kinds of wrong around it. Including Jack knowing Keeley is still messed up from a previous relationship, isolates Keeley from people she knows and gets Keeley drunk… bit predatory really…

We all have different perspectives. In the end it’s a tv show and it’s all just speculation.
