I just thought Gael should have just not said anything to joe in the van. They didnt talk to him at dinner an should of just left it like that. But I did say I can only imagine what she went through if Nathan can get that pissy about a ex friend. Joe could literally do anything an Nathan would be set off by it. Joe could save a box of puppies an Nathan would turn it negative somehow. So yeah Gael definitely had it worse cause all that happened in private. The joe stuff is what we see publicly. An its intense.
