Re: Brian and Joan
Yep totally, ia...he could easily put a verbal smackdown on this awful woman, but he doesn't. Instead he lets her guilt him into taking her to church. I really think he is holding out some hope that they can connect, however small, and that she will accept him. I'm not sure he loses that until next season, and even then he's pretty civil towards her in S4 until she starts telling him he deserved his cancer.
