Maybe not vengeful, but who wouldn't be angry if their boyfriend cheated on them? She had pretty much no reaction compared to Mara's. My point is that it was convenient for the writers to make Mara the angry one so that Willow could go date Alfie. It would have been more in character for Willow to be very hurt by Jerome's actions, and it should have taken her a while to recover instead of having her almost immediately getting a new boyfriend.
