Policemen's communication chain is very well established. It's like high school gossip. I'm sure somebody knew somebody at Will's old PD and he called and they talked and now everybody in the new PD knows, too.
Ah, good point, I forgot about gossip. That works better than Will telling Dave himself, which is possible, I guess, but doesn't seem all that likely. It wouldn't be much of a bonding activity, really.
Don't you just want to take him home with you and make all the bad things go away? Poor, poor Adam. Every time Joan does something insensitive I just want to smack her because no one can be that oblivious.
I don't know how she could have missed it. Yeah, teenagers are self-centered, but he practically has a sign around his neck saying "I'm all about Jane!" Just, his face when she was flirting with Clay... ow. Poor, poor Adam.
Seriously, they should just make an Adam show (Highlander, anyone?)
Hee! They should! Maybe it's the name... ;)
She tends to see people as she wants to see them and not as they really are and I think this is what's going to continue to get her in trouble down the line (as it already has gotten her into trouble in the past).
She does, and it's worrisome, considering her potential problems if anyone finds out about the whole "talks to God" thing. All she needs to do is see the wrong person as trustworthy, and it all goes to hell. So to speak. Heh. So yeah, I like that she has flaws, but that particular flaw makes me nervous.
I tried to give Joan some leeway with the Clay thing at first, because she's young, and from her reactions not that used to being flirted with (strange, but maybe the guys are scared of Will), but he was so obviously not worth her time. I actually groaned out loud at that horrible "four out of five doctors agree" line. Awful, just awful.
But she is, after all, a teenager and the pestering mother routine probably is the only thing that would penetrate all the egomania anyway.
Oh yeah, it would totally have worked on me at that age. Still would, actually. Moms have special powers. It's wiggy.
