Correct. You can give the BP and get charged for the flight if you want, but you can't hold the seat if someone else wants it. The seats are not assigned and the only way to claim an extra and keep it is to be a COS.

If you don't fly the outbound the return does NOT cancel. The value of the outbound is reusable by the original traveler for up to a year from original purchase date. This feature is not like other airlines.
