If Anthony is to be taken at face value, then he had lost interest in Elizabeth and wanted to date Candace. However, after one date with Candace where she abandons him to chase after an older guy, Anthony drops a line to Elizabeth that Candace's leaving did not bother him because he was really interested in Elizabeth. This implies his interest in Candace was just a ploy.
Now, Elizabeth has agreed to spend time with him alone at her house doing homework. And that's the way it is for the next 2 years. Neither Elizabeth nor Anthony date anyone else. Anthony has gotten Elizabeth in a relationship in apparently the only way she finds acceptable. When she is dating a guy, she looks forward to breaking up with him and Anthony has seen that twice now. So, if he wants to spend time with her, this is his only choice.
I never really saw Anthony and Elizabeth as Ursula and Mervyn. I thought the Anthony, Elizabeth and Thérèse love triangle as a duplicate of her, Rod and Doug Franks' love triangle.
And of course, the chief casualty of the mess is Candace who gets shat on for years because Liz is a coward who won't admit that being a coward got her here.
As expected, she boasted about a technical issue while ignoring the fact that no Patterson knows what love is:
This punch line became a title for one of the books. Whenever we released a collection, I’d go thorough the strips that would be included and find a good comment to use on the cover. I was happy to find this one. After choosing a title, it was then a challenge to decide how to draw up the cover illustration!

Now to look at this from Anthony's side.

Elly is pimping out Elizabeth pretty hard in this one, and Constable Paul Wright's fellow officer is practically challenging him to go for Liz.
