ARE YOU READY

Okay so, even though when she met Scott he beaten and scratched up by a cyborg rooster, had successfully locked himself out of his suite, and then revealed his suite to look like a really stereotypical bachelor pad...

Bianca actually likes Scott and has a lot of respect for him. The respect admittedly coming after finding out his daughter died, but she likes him nonetheless.

It's hard keeping it together when your kid is dead, or you think something like that's happened. While Bianca has it together now, the Reyes family spent a whole year thinking that Jaime was suddenly just... gone, without knowing what happened. (While we don't get much of an impression on that sort of thing in canon, El Paso is right across the border from Juarez, which even when it's peaceful isn't exactly a safe city, so after they spent a couple months not finding Jaime whatsoever, iiiit's really likely that Bianca and her husband gave him up as being dead in a shallow grave in the desert or something.)

So finding out that Scott's kid was dead and he's still trying to keep it together- acting normal right up until that conversation- meant that she has a lot of sympathy for him; it's a terrible thing to go through, and she couldn't imagine dealing with that alone. Being a parent is hard. Knowing your kid disappeared or is dead, that's something that you end up blaming on yourself, because you're the one who shapes your child.

Overall, he strikes her as a good guy, and the Reyes family does't really judge people. Everyone makes different choices in life, everyone has different opportunities available to them, and all you can do is try your best and be a good person. The only point at which Bianca really judges a person is when they don't own up to their mistakes. Everyone's worth being given chances if they're making it clear they're trying to be better people and are trying to be respectful of others. Active malice, purposeful disrespect, disregard for other people as people, those are things that will get Bianca pissed off at someone, and those aren't things Scott has in him. Conscientiousness counts, and it's definitely something that Scott has in spades, even if he's something of a dork.
