I really struggled with what Lena's reaction would be.
She literally comes down to see her worst nightmare has become reality after being on cloud 9. She had the established body issue problems and the need to be wanted only to find the one person who 'wanted' her banging someone else (throw in the hole lusting over and banging her cousin stuff plus the guilt over maybe cheating with Hannah). One of the reason's I decided to wait until Matt had made his decision was to buy time to work out her response and it changed several times (yea for rolling that 9 card).
It wasn't until "Jack and Diane," "The River" and "To her Door" played in a row on my playlist that I decided that it would simply be too much for her and that she would just shut down and run away from it all because it hurt too much.
