Haer'Dalis/Aerie/PC love triangle (spoilers)

Hello all,
I was rather interested in experiencing this spanner that Haer'Dalis throws into the works of the otherwise short Aerie romance plot. Their own little thing was progressing rather nicely, as was the PC/Aerie thing, but both conversations seem to have abruptly stopped. The last conversation Aerie and Haer'Dalis had was him asking her for the second time whether she had feelings for him, and her telling him that she didn't know. The last conversation Aerie and my PC had was the one following her mini-breakdown (the "no man will ever want me" one).
The relevant variables are as follows:
HaerDalisRomanceActive = 2
Lovetalk (HD) = 15
AerieRomanceActive = 1
Lovetalk (Aerie) = 33
Neither advancing real time using the console nor setting the romance variables to '1' triggers anything. Changing the HDRomanceActive variable to '1' prompts Aerie to reject him on account of her feelings for the PC, and Haer'Dalis backing down gracefully. It seems that the confrontation I was hoping for is stuck, and I don't entirely know how to get it back on track.
EDIT: It seems the PC/Aerie romance was slightly too far on for the whole triangle to progress seamlessly. As far as I can tell, Haer'Dalis needs to have professed his love for Aerie *before* Aerie's crisis moment, when the party is about to rest and she says that she can't go on. (Lovetalk=25.) As it happens, said crisis had happened a little earlier on, so the game hit a bit of a snag. Resetting Aerie's Lovetalk to 25 allowed the conflict to happen as intended; whilst setting HaerDalisRomanceActive to 1 has Aerie let him down gently.
I'm slightly disappointed that I wasn't able to experience all of this organically, as it is quite an interesting little distraction. Ah well.

The variables:
HaerDalisRomanceActive = 2
Lovetalk (HD) = 15
AerieRomanceActive = 1
Lovetalk (Aerie) = 25
After her crisis, everything just freezes. I cannot force a continuation with the console, unless I set HaerDalisRomanceActive = 1, in which case, he just bows out. What do I need to do?
