For all its weirdness, this was a great intro to Jim's character -- and makes his unearned playboy reputation all the more strange to me! The other characters all see the monster in a form they find most attractive ("she hasn't aged a day" yikes), but Jim just sees a person who looks her age and isn't sexed up in any way. And his advice to bring flowers to an ex! Odd, but it works -- we'll see throughout the series that he's still on great terms with his own exes. Definitely shows off his sweet and dreamy side.
