This might win for my favorite addition to my post.
If Alycia were truly the evil person she thinks everyone thinks her to be, she would so be a menace to Summer ...

As these comics show, Alycia is a danger to Summer's social life.
Alycia is a threat to anyone's social life. Especially those she's concerned about.
Honestly, the entire team should be reaching out to Jason to, for God's sake, keep Alycia occupied.
A continuation of themes and elements, some remixed, from this thread, without actually diving into what Alycia's thoughts are. Do we feel like Jason has been suitably messed with by the end?
Oh, Lord, yes. I'm snorting coffee out my nose right now.
1. In my experience, good couples bicker, rather than fight. Just like this.
2. That dialog (and, in fact, most of the dialog in this set) fits the characters very nicely. And I guess I can say that with some (literal) authority.
3. And of course she would slide over ... a third of the sofa. And, Jason, wisely, takes that as something huge and doesn't screw it up.
4. In retrospect, I suspect Jason would understand why Alycia was so upset (that Stitch/Jumba makes me get dewy-eyed). He'd just be reeeeeeally uncertain and careful about what the hell to do about it, since Alycia reacts ... vehemently ...to things.
Also, great punch line.

I can see a bit more confident/sharper-edged Summer being very ... Hobbesean. :-)
Edit: yes, that's Aria, not Summer, since she is the more confident and sharper edged sister.

She'll get there. Maybe that should be Alycia's project.
What will this day be like? / I wonder. / What will my future be? / I wonder.
It could be so exciting, / To be out in the world, / To be free!
My heart should be wildly rejoicing. / Oh, what's the matter with me?
I've always longed for adventure, / To do the things I've never dared.
Now here I'm facing adventure / Then why am I so scared?

For what it's worth, that song is something I sing to myself headed into job interviews / new jobs / other big thangs. (See also the R&H "Whistle a Happy Tune").
With the Lamb situation heating up, maybe it's time to get some competent help. Until then, there's Summer.
