I kind of agree. I think it was more of a girl bonding moment than a "I'm going to change the core of your personality" moment. She definitely went back to the black liner the next day AS SHE SHOULD.

That scene realllllly stuck out to me when I rewatched this a few months ago. I had a hard time feeling as happy about the movie-ending fist pump after he literally sexually assaults her just because he thinks it's funny.
