Poor old JB. It's taken three years to work out what the world's known all along. Surely he didn't think when he told her to stay low and keep her mouth shut that she'd actually be capable of doing it? OCA does what OCA's ten minute vision tells her to do ... she has no foresight and she does not reflect.
If he's not at her side right NOW, he doesn't figure in her world. Doesn't he know that's how her mind works? She 'discards' things.
You are right on!
I have been waiting for this to happen. I knew it would. I must admit though that I am surprised she didn't do this sooner. Maybe Casey was temporarily appeased with the pittance she got from her Ohio walk, but once that money was gone she blamed JB for her being penniless.
