And Regina gets cockblocked.
Wait. That doesn't sound right.
Lol, actually it sounds strangely appropriate...
As to the character being broken, I don't see it. It's very easy for a young person to fantasize and become infatuated with someone they haven't seen in a long time. Then if they actually try to act on that infatuation when that person comes back into their lives, they can come off as creepy and crazy without realizing it.
For the "rapist" thing, obviously nothing of the kind so far; it's just a very clumsy and awkward attempt at seduction, which is exactly what you would expect from someone so completely inexperienced and naive like Regina. Anyone past a certain age will have some experience like that sooner or later.
Now, if she keeps pushing it after May has told her no, then that would be something else, but so far? Perfectly within reason. Far from "bad writing", I find it to be pretty savvy and spot-on to how someone like Regina would act in trying to seduce somebody, without knowing the first thing about it or having a clue what she's doing.
Actually, the one puzzling me right now is Maytag, who is usually so kind and understanding about this stuff, and now she's all "SORRY NO, HERE'S A HAND IN YOUR FACE, BOOM." What's up, May
Of course, it could still all be an illusion. But not like "OMG it HAS to be!!" It could be either, I think.
