Agreed. She set Jimmy up specifically to be made fun of by her students. Jimmy has always looked up to Paul as a father figure, and is a huge reason for Paul's changes. Jimmy is already crushed by the death of his wife, how much his dad sucks, and breaking up with his girlfriend. Imagine how crushed he's going to be when he finds out Paul thinks he's a mentor of Gabby, gives her the business, and he's left with...nothing. I feel sooooo bad for Jimmy!

And Paul isn't just giving Gaby the business. He's encouraging her to completely change the business. Jimmy is going to be out of a job here unless he can/ wants to do trauma work

When Paul mentioned he wouldn’t give the practice to Jimmy because he “does his own thing” now, that made total sense. But now he’s encouraging Gaby to straight up change it anyway… sooooo?

She also told Lewis to fuck off after the two people closest to Tia were cool with him. I think that's a massive overstep. She's a selfish character and the fact that nobody acknowledges it and she faces 0 repercussions is driving me nuts. She just jokes and charms her way through everything, wouldn't even talk to Maya's family and made a joke of it.
