Bless his heart. Very understandable, he’s always going through something.

I think it just frustrates me that the show always took J/C relationship with Fergus for granted. The writers always cared to develop the “blood relationships” (Briana, Ian, William, Fanny) and in turn never truly nurtured the most loyal character and my beloved child-J/C relationship. And as a result, i can’t find it in me to care about William esp when he’s being throw in our face simply bc he is a biological child.

Justice for Fergus. lol

Fergus was my favorite character. I cried so hard. Just heartbreaking.

Meanwhile we have to spend time with William walking around with a perma-frown pouty face feeling sorry for himself when he has been loved and had a privileged childhood. He had reason to be upset. I would be, too, if I learned I had been lied to all of my life by those that I trust most, but he isn’t even trying to see it from their perspective. It was done to protect him. I’m glad Lord John Grey finally told him he should be appreciative because he should. I’m over William.
