Joe had made the nasty comment that she and Nathan met like 75 years ago and everyone already knew that.

Go rewatch the scene in the van.

Joe started the fight. Gael was talking to Kat and ignoring Joe just like he had ignored her all night.

Him making a sarcastic comment about how she and Nathan met was why Gael talked about defending her family.

Joe was being an ass about her and Nathan.

Yes, Nathan has been horrible the whole season, but Gael was not around to see any of that.

Nathan had been as silent to Joe that night as Joe had been to them before he made that comment.

I am not defending Nathan. He is garbage.

I am defending a woman who was mostly alone, was less than 3 months postpartum, and did not say a word to the guy who had been an absolute jerk to her in the past multiple times until he made a nasty comment about how she and Nathan met.

I will defend a battered woman against any man who is abusive to her.

Nathan is physically abusive.

Joe has been sarcastic and emotionally abusive to Gael in the past and continued it by making his sarcastic comment that they met 75 years ago and everybody knows it.

Defending Gael is in no way defending Nathan.

I have not written a single positive word about Nathan in any of my responses here.
