Cheryl's writing up to S6E7

First time watching. I've come to expect some shortcomings in the writing, like how Larry and Jeff were banned from each other's houses only to have it never mentioned again in the following episode when they are right back at it. But I'm taken back by how brazen they are playing off Cheryl's abrupt departure from Larry in S6E7.

She's been patiently supporting Larry's antics and doing little to correct his behavior for 6 and a half seasons. At best she's often enabling him by seemingly acting offended while in front of others and then behind closed doors telling Larry she supports him and the other people are the problem.

We're supposed to accept that suddenly the plane call turned her into a differently suffering distressed spouse who turned full floozy with the underwear barren seemingly the day of the flight, and separation, or at least the next day

IDK, clearly it's going to help carry the subject content a whole and they now have a reason to parade female guest stars for more substance. Maybe it helps to keep the show formula fresh.
