I love Liz - but she wanted Lucky and only Lucky to be Jake's father for a really long time, she asked Jason to give up Jake when Alan died, she told him when Jake was born that she would be afraid for the baby to be with him, she told him after the fire that he could not let this change his mind, and during the trial, she lied not to protect Jake but for Lucky.

Yes she did ask to run away, and Michael was just shot, frankly if Lucky had been shot, she would have reacted the same way as Jason.

But you are right she did ask to run away and he said no because of what had just happened.  I can't say I blame him, the kid is in a coma, Monica has lost everyone, and Carly is Jason's Lucky.   However, when Jax came by later she told him that Michael getting shot kept her from making one of the biggest mistakes of her life.

I love Liz, but it is no all on Jason by any means.


Thank you.  THEY BOTH have made a lot of mistakes.  THEY BOTH need to own up to them and work through them to get through this stronger and in a better place.  As much as I hate Michael, I understand why Jason wouldn't want to run away right after he was shot.  This was a child he raised for a year as his son.  You just don't get over those feelings.  I often thought of my brother as my little boy since I was his primary care-giver the first few years of his life.  I remember in college, 10 years later, when he was in the second of his major car accidents I was destroyed.  In many ways it was as if it were my child laying there fighting for his life.  So I can understand where Jason is coming from.

I LOVE both of these characters, more than I probably should, and I want them to be able to find a way to get back to each other.  Unfortunately I don't think it's going to be easy, or quick, but isn't the journey half the fun of watching?  Do I wish there was a little less angst for our couple?  HELL TO THE YEAH! It's about time we, as a fanbase, got a little love and ease, but our couple has been all about the angst from the beginning.  And they do it so well.  And look so pretty while doing it.

I've lost my original point with wanting to reply, so I'll shut up now and go back to lurking and making banners. 


I am with you guys.  Both at fault.  Both have made major mistakes trying to get over each other.  They still need each other.  I hope, hope that there will be a push to put Becky front and center with her rehiring and the TIIC  having egg on their faces for firing the #1 fan favorite.  It would be a big story for them to get back together after losing Jake.  esp since couples usually breakup after losing a child.
