[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought it was wrong for Kate to cut Tody out of the wknd and invite Rebecca.  Toby hadn't refused to go.  Kate blocked him from trying.  Sometimes you go to something with an attitude or reluctance and get surprised at how good it is.  Toby needed to be at the program, but was sidelined unilaterally by Kste.[/quote]

Yeah, I love this show, but this scene was one of the many where I think just a little editing would make it better. Maybe this is realistic, though … everyone slightly miscommunicates, and things get worse. I thought he should have gone, too, or if he wasn't going to go, should have been more of an ass about it so we could officially hate him. [/quote]

PP here.  I felt like this scene (where Kate gives Toby's spot to Rebecca) is going to keep me from thinking Toby is at fault and Kate is innocent, should their marriage blow up.  Even if Toby had his misgivings about going, he said he WANTED to love Jack or be a good dad.  That's a big thing.  Wanting to IS the first step.  When Kate threw him off the bus  b/c he wasn't eager enough, she kept him back.  Maybe she secretly likes being the "good parent" and likes to keep him in the role of "bad parent."  Some people get an ego boost out of looking like a martyr -- especially with special needs or sickly kids.[/quote]
