[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think Rupert's comment about Jade's accent was small talk. How likely is it that Rupert actually knows enough about Polish accents to figure out where Jade is from from a few words? I think this is going to turn into a plot point. I don't know exactly where that plot is going to go, but I suspect Rupert was already aware of Nate's relationship with Jade and has done some digging about her.

I wondered about that too. There was something creepy about how Rupert pointed that out and then tried to break them up with the new women during boys night out. [/quote]
My first impression on that scene was that Rupert didn't think Jade was good enough. Not the girlfriend he wanted his head coach to have. Rupert wants to project a certain image with his team - he wants Nate to date those model types. He doesn't think Jade fits that image. He doesn't want Nate dating a Polish woman (aren't Poles looked down upon in England? They are lower class? Like Hispanics over here?)

Or maybe he saw a little bit of Rebecca in Jade? And didn't want that either in his orbit?[/quote]

Yeah, I'm trying to figure out what Rupert's end game is here exactly. At first I thought he was going to try to steal Jade from Nate as a pure power move, then he seems to be trying to get Nate to sabotage it. He doesn't seem like someone who'd be willing to disadvantage himself by driving away his head coach, regardless of how much he enjoys cruel mind games, so I'm not sure what he is doing here.

I think the PP is right that he doesn’t want his head coach dating some lowly restaurant hostess. He’s all about image. Remember how he bought Nate a new car? It’s the same thing. [/quote]
