I think there has been a noticeable change in Ed's behavior since the last Melbourne trip. My guess is that it was a disappointing trip for Jade because Ed's behavior was not what she was used to and/or hoped for due to the presence of his crew. I'm about 95% sure that they decided to just be "friends", though I think Jade was hoping Ed would backtrack on that decision once more. My opinion is that his current sleaziness is partly his natural "personality", partly a means to get Jade to publicly acknowledge that that are not a couple, and partly a way to make it clear to her that he's not changing his mind. I think his own need to not be the"bad guy" is once again making him look like the bad guy, though he still seems to be copping way less flack than Jade, so maybe it will be a successful ploy with his individual fans, most of whom seem to think he's still some kind of victim of Jade's stalking.
