SS04, I'm on the Good Path myself, and don't recall that situation. You might have taken a different turn somewhere along the way. And yes, I do have Pam working in the Bistro.
Chapter One is mostly neutral aside from Lilly/Sophia/Sarah. Chapter two is where the game will change in a big way and where the official Good Path can start.
Yeah, can't take a different turn when there's no turns to take. but as Jamleng said, it's just because I'm still in Chapter One, so I'll hang in there
