I think the whole thing with Forkdick is arranged, so they both get plenty of freebies and engagement and she doesn’t look alone at Christmas. She couldn’t get any other guy to put up with her and I’m sure she dated loads, so she needed to hook up with someone before Christmas.
She also wants to get back at Joe after he moved on so quickly and try and make him jealous and look like she’s having fun. They seem more like duck buddies and Im sure he sees others on the side. I just don’t see this lasting, there’s no chemistry, they’re friends who’ve known each other for years that’s all. Fork sees them as just having fun and no doubt she will keep trying to turn it into a relationship, until he gets caught with someone else. She’ll have a near impossible job finding a guy who will put up with her madness, who’s also rich and willing to marry her like she wants. She seems destined to have a series of unhappy failed relationships.
