I dont know i think considering if it wasn't for Jim he'd still be in a home basically wasting away until he dies he could be more grateful. Jim has his problems but he does more for Billy than Steve or his own Parents. Jim has allowed Billy to live. Disability or not.

I don't think cockblocking is automatically a crime. I don't understand why it's a guy's duty to go out of his way not to prevent every guy on the planet from trying to get into a girl's pants.

Billy was just looking out for Allie and thinking that Jim, who is kind of sleazy on some level, and was lying his way into her heart, might not be the best for her. Most of us guys have friends who play the field a lot and wouldn't want them set up with our sister or another close female friend.

That said, I don't think that Jim trying to subvert Billy's wishes was that immoral either.

I do think that Billy can sometimes be too much of a downer and he was way worse this week. He was such a jerk, but in the end he admitted to his faults.

He got worse on last nights episode, I think they may be building up to something.

You would be surprised how many disable people can be dicks IRL. I've come across a few.

I don't think they are building up to something. According to the production order, the baseball episode was the ninth episode made, Cuckoo's Nest (aka team Billy vs. team Jim) was the tenth.

This implies that the community service Jim has to perform in Cuckoo's Nest comes from his arrest in the baseball episode. The Bag Lady episode was made after both Cuckoo's Nest and Hat Hair and in that one Billy was the only one that wanted to help when Jim was dragging the bag outside showing some recovery in their relationship.

I think Billy just has a lot of built up anger, between his disability and having the family he does, who've been his only real social interactions for a long time. He takes it out on everyone.

I agree with supa_fun-1. Billy doesn't set out to be a dick to Jim. His behavior would be the same regardless of the recipient. Or maybe he understands that Jim can take it so he discharges his pent up anger onto him instead of his mom or Steve who he feels are more vulnerable.
