I definitely want Thomas to get character development first and then a girlfriend. I guess at the least, though, we know he's been with at least four girls in the past? Once Thomas can come out of the "ignored intern" hole he's stuck in and become a character with well-defined personality traits, thoughts, and relationships with other park staff characters, I'd love to see him get a girl or see if he currently has one unknown to us.

Not that he needs major, fast development. HFG didn't have a lot before or get a lot from "The Postcard", but because he'd already appeared for four seasons, we knew him well enough to see and care about his adventure to reunite with his love interest. HFG character development would still be lovely, but "The Postcard" was a good step for his character without forcing him to suddenly become a complex character.

Thank goodness we're finally getting an episode focused on him with "Thomas Strikes Back" because this'll hopefully be a similar episode. I want to get to know Thomas better so that I have more reasons to cheer him on when he succeeds. When he's finally established enough that he's not just a joke about interns and more on par with the park people above him, I will be very pleased when he deals with romantic relationships in his life.
