She needs to come clean with Maggie. It is not like she slept with Riggs after finding out how Maggie felt. Why tell him to say no?
shareThe writers are creating unnecessary drama. She should have told Maggie after the wedding.
shareMer is getting on my nerves. She likes being in the middle of this mess. It's why she decided to go to the party after saying no. So, that she could tell Riggs to turn Maggie down. She did that for herself not Maggie. Although we know Riggs would have probably said no anyway, that was her staking her claim. Mer is going to keep playing hard to get with Riggs and cruelly watching her sister make a fool of herself. Yet, everyone thinks Maggie is annoying. lol Frankly, I would like for this show to give one of the black female characters a shot at a real relationship outside of Bailey. Maggie is made to look pathetic chasing after a man that has no interest in her and got dumped by DeLuca. Stephanie got dumped for the bride by Jackson and she finally gets a shot at an interesting relationship and they kill him off. I actually thought Riggs and Maggie would have been the better option. I don't see chemistry with Mer and Riggs and thought they should go the opposite and put Mer with Alex. Now, I don't even want Maggie and Riggs because of how stupid they have Maggie looking. Maybe Alex and Maggie will grow closer and they can have something there. Because Jo gets on my nerves and just isn't good for Alex.
shareI think its one thing for her to have him in Mers house, because it is her house, but I don't think she's ready to forgive him for what he did to Delucca. Mer seems to be the only one standing by him
shareJo keeps secrets and had she been honest with Alex in the first place, none of this would have even happen. I hate that they have her walking around like she's the victim. The only victim is DeLuca.
shareOh please, Alex was incredibly cruel to her in his comments, he basically called her a whore, and it's not the first time he's been verbally abusive to her. She has been hurt by all of this even if she doesn't have physical bruises from it. Yes she should have told him about her husband, all of this wouldn't have happened. But it shouldn't have happened anyways.
Jo and Alex both made bad decisions that night, which is why I said the only victim is DeLuca. However, Jo is just as much responsible for what happened that night. Alex has been hurt a lot, left behind a lot, and he's dealing with someone that probably has more demons in her past then he does. Worse, he'll never know all of it because Jo is very secretive. He was hurting. When Alex is hurt, he lashes out. I'm not saying it's right but Jo is no victim either. She made horrible choices. First, not being honest and secondly drinking her problems away instead of being honest.
shareSo horrible choices like going out with friends and getting drunk. Stuff that there are probably millions of people out there doing every weekend, and yet we don't accuse them of "asking for it" or deserving what they get. She didn't do anything bad at all, she can't be responsible for his reactions, the fact that he's emotionally volatile and violent and she knows it still doesn't make it "her fault" if she sets him off. "Honey you know when you make me angry I beat you, I wish you wouldn't make me do it, it's all your fault".
shareFor that night she did nothing wrong. But keeping an important secret for years when Alex would have been understanding is wrong. Getting drunk is not wrong (expect she was doing it because she and Alex fought because she wouldn't tell him the truth) and letting someone you know help you is not wrong, I just think if Stephanie was friend enough to get her home, in bed and call Alex would have been better.
Saying she didn't deserve it, nothing happened to her that night so she wasn't "asking for it" except her seeing Alex beat someone else up and getting hysterical about it. He didn't beat her (now if that were the case, I would not be saying she was asking for it) and not all of it is her fault, but she acts like just because he misread the situation it is all his fault.
Thank you! No one ever said Alex was not wrong. It's just that Jo is wrong too. That is what gets on my nerves with her. She's always "Poor me" 24/7 and this is a situation where she has no right to be. This man made a bad decision and no it's not Jo's fault he did that but it all started because of her unwillingness to just be honest with him. Does that means Alex was right for hurting DeLuca! Of course not but Alex thought she was being taken advantage of. Why? Because she decided to go out and get drunk and tear off her clothes in front of her coworker. That made it all look worse. Then when she had an opportunity to talk to DeLuca all she cared about was her little secret getting exposed. Not her part in what went wrong that night.

Who said it was an excuse? Did you miss the part where I said it was not right. I'm not making an excuse for Alex. I said both of them made mistakes but if you want me to blame Alex for losing his temper and hurting someone, then shouldn't you hold Jo responsible for her actions too. You can't be in any relationship with secrets and dishonesty. You can't then go out and decide to drink your problems away. Yes, many people do it all the time but when mistakes happen because of their careless drinking, can they use that as an excuse. No! The same way you are saying Alex can not excuse his behavior. I never said Alex was not wrong. I said Jo is not a victim. Big difference. Just because I understand Alex more, does not mean I excused anything he did. Did you miss the part where I said the only victim is DeLuca too. Just because Alex did a worse thing, does not make what Jo did right either.
shareI'm not making an excuse for Alex.
Thank you for reading my mind and telling me what I think. I never knew I needed help with that. Where did you see me say Jo was responsible alone. I said they both made mistakes and DeLuca is the only victim. With every situation there is a timeline of events that leads up to the final action. Jo played her part. I said I don't appreciate her acting like a victim when she is just as responsible as Alex. Not for physically hurting DeLuca but for her part in the events that lead to that happening. She's not a victim. You can argue with me all day if you want but I will never agree that she is. It has nothing to do with how wrong Alex is. We know he's wrong. It has everything to do with her running around acting like it's all Alex fault. It's not.
shareExcept Alex beating up Deluca is all Alex's fault. So *beep* what if Jo was drunk or dishonest? Alex had a right to be upset with Jo for not telling him the truth. But he didn't have a right to fly into a jealous rage and beat some guy. Jo is not responsible for Alex's failure to control himself. ALEX IS A GROWN MAN. GROWN PEOPLE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN ACTIONS. I didn't realize that this was so difficult a concept to grasp. jfc!
shareBut Alex rage was not about being jealous. He explained that in episode one of this season. It was him thinking she was being taken advantage of. Still, doesn't make him right because had he just given DeLuca a chance to explain it would probably not have happened. So again, never said it was not Alex fault. I have a problem with Jo taking no responsibility. Just like Alex is responsible for what he did to DeLuca, Jo is responsible for what she did to Alex. Yet, she's walking around like he hurt her somehow. No, she hurt him too and still has not been honest with him.
sharePlease. He just said that later to justify his actions. There was nothing about that scene that looked like Jo being assaulted.
