It
1. Archer was in a coma and found in a pool for who knows how’s long, with no positive prognosis. No woman was staying through that.
2. If that sperm donor comment is true why Archer? why not any other spy who wasn’t a man child. She chose him for a reason. She says that to not deal with 2 daddy’s situation. Last season showed she has trouble dealing with stress and bottles shyt up. It’s the easiest way to avoid the drama
3. Go back and watch those past seasons when archer became some semblance of a functioning adult him and Lana were inseparable to point external forces tried to ruin them. even during the parents episode, showed that fighting is just their surface level. Toxic in the beginning most definitely but by the time we knew these characters external forces pulled them apart.
4. This show has always been about archer’s growth and how he interacts with the world. Him finally settling down with Lana is saying he’s become an adult. Like it or not Archer is ending up with Lana.
It's not about staying with archer through that, it's about how quickly she moved on to the point of getting married in 3 years. If she was still dating the man or engaged, I get that, but full blown married? And to a man that she seemed to barely tolerate? I don't understand the logic behind that if she was supposed to be his love
As for the sperm donor thing, I have an idea. When Carol cooked her to the moon and back she most likely went to talk to Mallory and cry on her shoulder. Mallory, who seems to know the ins and outs of all of archers predilections probably told her about where archer keeps his seed and some way to get ahold of it. As to why? Consider the spies that she would know that she could use. The pool isn't deep. Ray is out, Barry as well, and Cyril was at the time squirrelly and if she had a baby he'd be incredibly clingy. Archer other than cancer risk has good genetics. And knowing that Mallory was probably a bit manipulative, knowing she probably wanted a grandchild but dreaded archer having one with Katya, it would be a win win for the both of them in a sense for her to get impregnated with archers seed.
they were lovely dovey but that was gonna pass. when she sent the assassin at him while he was watching aj, or when she forced him to deal with his bully to get aj into a private school when he was completely against it showed that while she had some love for him, the respect wasnt there. hell her dad had to check her on archer being family. not to mention lana has a tendency to say some real fukked up shyt when she feels slighted. between calling him a coward after leaving when he found out aj was his, to telling him that in case something happened to her aj would never be his to raise, to wishing he was back in the coma, once the honeymoon phase wore off, they would be back were they were before only with them equally cheating on each other this time.
i agree with the growth aspect of this show. and hopefully that means growing enough to know that while you may love someone, it doesnt mean they should be together. especially seeing how their morality flippers have been switched to the point that archer actually felt bad for what he was doing to cyril
