This is exactly what I think too. I think he was drinking the Kool-Aid, and believed she didn't know anything about Lucas' location, so to him, it was just going to be another day searching with no answers.
I politely disagree. JH has;
Lost his son in the worst way imaginable,
It’s unlikely he can begin to grieve that loss properly,
He has effectively lost his daughter,
He’s lost the woman he trusted and loved,
(Although everyone else understands what she’s done and is, getting over love isn’t simply flipping a switch it’s another process),
He’s questioning every single thing she’s said
He’s learned she may have been unfaithful,
And he brought her into their lives, and trusted her to care for his son,
And every part of his life is now front page news.
And that’s off the top of my head. This guy was working hard to just recently move his family into a home with a yard for kids to play. His entire future is gone.
How would everyone cope with what he’s facing at this moment? I’m not defending him. Just trying to have everyone think about what this 30 year old copes with right now every morning when he opens his eyes until he finally closed them at night. Everything else aside he’s feeling guilt and holding on to EG in part she’s so slick, smooth and conniving.
I hope his family is getting him help. He needs it now more than ever. It’s hard to accept all of this and come to the realization she did it.
