People freak out when the good responsible one fucks up because he's good and responsible.
A perpetual fuckup fucking up? Yeah, that's Life As We Know It.
Your rock of hope, your "there is competence in the world", your person that makes you proud to know/employ them fucks up? Yeah. It's freakout time.
Been there, in all three positions, moved on.
Overkillengine:
True enough. He should have stopped the bitter rant well short of even touching her for platonic I-don't-want-to-fall-over.
It would have been a better choice to deliver the same lines while stumbling into his room and slamming the door. Touching her at all while saying what he did sends the wrong message, intended or not.
Armadillo:
I don't think too many people are saying he has a "right" to behave like he did, but instead that his body of work has to be taken into consideration before condemning him to eternal hellfire. He's hammered out of his mind, depressed to all hell, and his life is a giant ball of stress right now, most of it not self-inflicted. All of these situations are what we call "extenuating circumstances," and have to be factored in when passing judgment. Again, not that he has a "right" to behave like a selfish jackass, but seeing as how this is literally the first time we've seen it happen in all the time we've known these characters, I think he can be allowed to slide on this one, with a caveat of "don't let it happen again."
Skelepunk:
Sort of off topic, but-Why is it that as soon as trouble comes, these characters reach for alcohol? Is this common for 20 somethings? I do know people like this, but they are the exception, not the norm.

When I was in my early 20s, it was an easy out for me. I know I wasn't the only one among my friends.
But yeah, it is kind of weird that they're still doing this, especially in light of all the hullaballoo over Faye's drinking problem earlier on.
