Bill had asked Margo to marry him more than once but not until the end did Margo say she wanted to maintain sole and exclusive rights to him.

Karen’s joke on Margo, which backfired on her, is another example of strife. In the end, we knew that Eve got what she deserved when Eve goes back to her hotel room alone and finds Phoebe
