Type usage.

Those awkward parties people often organise for each other at a club: where nothing really happens and it’s just the usual faces.

What had been the point of instantly rekindling their romance after she’d returned – when he was leaving two weeks later?

Do the parts after the colon and em dash form complete sentences? I would have thought no punctuation in the first example.



Or: romance, after she's returned, when he was leaving two weeks later?

Is where ok as it relates to club clearly and therefore has an implied subject. Instead of say, repeating: The club where nothing really happens.
