Throw the stages out the window.

You start thinking stages and then you start thinking orderly progression. 1,2,3,4,5

and it is BS in MLC land. One stage does NOT lead to another, and the Sixth stage doesn't mean the end.

No the OW/OM can be at any time and doesn't even need an MLC to make an affair happen.
