In the season finale, Eric decides that he wants to get Sloan back because he realizes the dating scene is overrated. Of course, this epiphany came to him after he had an STD scare after hooking up with a random bar skank. Anyways, after three years of back and forth games, Sloan agreed to go for a ride with E. He takes her out for a romantic meal and drops the bomb that he wants to get back together. Sloan gets upset and demands that Eric take her home since they are now strictly friends and she has a new boyfriend. Eric refuses and takes her to the beach and then proposes to her to prove his commitment. The problem with Eric and Sloan's relationship throughout the show has been that he wasn't mature enough to commit to her. His friends and his job always came first, and she just received any attention that was left over after that. Well, Sloan agreed to marry Eric once he proved that he was willing to commit. The episode ended with a happily ever after vibe.
However, it leaves me wondering if Eric and Sloan's relationship will be any better just because he decided to propose. After all, she was dating someone else on the very day that she was proposed to. The last few years have been filled with bickering and unnecessary drama. She also played a lot of games with him, changing her mind about their relationship constantly. She always said that Eric wasn't mature enough, but it seemed like Eric was willing to do anything to be with her. He found a new job and bought his own house to show Sloan how serious he was. Even then, she still continued to see the negative. So just because he gave her a ring, she all of a sudden decides to be with him? What has really changed? This relationship seems doomed and I am beginning to wonder why the boys all love Sloan aside from her attractive looks.
