Question D

[Jonetta]

Reactions to Maddox’s “return” were mixed. Whose was the most/least understandable?

[Sharon]

Sarah was the most understandable. She was hurt and had to work through her feelings. She needed to come to terms with the fact that Maddox was trying to protect her.

[Lauren]

Considering their grief at his "loss", all of the reactions were understandable. He had lied to them and placed them in danger by not revealing himself earlier. Their anger was justified.

I also agree with Sharon that Sara's reaction was particularly appropriate. His actions were cruel and the fact that she was pregnant with his child made it all the more hurtful. I like that she didn't just forgive him on the spot and made him work to get back into her good graces.

[Jonetta]

Gus and Connor’s reactions were the most predictable. Connor had already suspected he was alive and so did Gus. She was just thrilled to have her buddy back.

Gabe was angry on Sara’s behalf and I got why he punched him. I also agree with both of you that Sara had the right to be hurt and angry. First, that breakup didn’t need to be so brutal and he could have later reached out to her after the funeral. I agree with Maddox that he needed all of them to be behaving authentically through his burial. He needed to “sell” his death to the Russians. But breaking up with Sara by text and telling her to get an abortion was a step too far.

[Sharon]

I had a problem with that text. I wanted to punch him.

[Karen ♐]

I agree that Sara's reaction was the right one. I wouldn't have forgiven him on the spot either. That text was horrible. He needed to grovel...

Gus and Connor were exactly what I expected. And so was Gabe. He was outraged on behalf of his sister.

[Lynn]

Sara's was definitely the most logical, but I also think her ability to be logical made her forgive him a little too quickly.
