Ok, so I wasn't first, but get ready for lots of comments!
Maybe it's the fact that you've shown things from Tank's point of view that allows me to feel sympathy for him. Which made Johnny confronting him a bit extreme. It's completely valid, Johnny wants to defend his best friend against the guy who could have killed him, but when I see Tank, I can't help but feel pity.
I can relate with Ripp on the cursing. I'll be talking to my grandmother, and "shit" comes out, and I'll stop and apologize. I constantly have to censor my sailor mouth.
I still have no idea who Johnny is going to end up with. I'd be happy either way. I like Jayne and Ophelia, but at the same time, I don't want either to get hurt. I feel like Johnny might eventually cave in to his father's wishes and marry Jayne, but only after talking to Ophelia and explaining everything. Either that, or he'll walk in on Ripp and Ophelia getting it on or something.
I don't think Ripp meant anything bad to happen. As you say, Ripp is always one to straightforward with women he finds attractive. I just think that Ripp hadn't seen Jill in so long that he was a bit ill-prepared to dealing with someone he found attractive. Of course, Jill was hoping for this to happen. As any teen, she wants to kiss and all that jazz, and who else to kiss and such but with your older brother's best friend? I'm not sure if Jill will be the one to tame the monster that is Ripp's libido, or even if Johnny will allow it (not that he really has any say, but you know what I mean). Only time will tell, I suppose.
A thought just occurred to me. I don't remember if PT discussed it when he was talking to Johnny for the first time about Jayne, but does he also have someone in mind for his daughter? She's half alien too, though she's the only one without green skin. If PT attempts to arrange Johnny's marriage, would he do the same for Jill? And the twins as well? (If he makes it that way, crossing fingers!)
Looks like Tank is taking over the role of the head of the family. Whether or not Ripp and Buck will accept this, shall be interesting to watch. Tank is right about Elise though, no one but Olive knows what really happened, so all eyes will of course be on those closest to him. (Elise's motive being jealousy, possibly. Lord knows that Ripp technically has a motive, so I hope he has an alibi).
Poor Nervous. Poor unborn spawn. From the looks of it, the next update will be a mighty big one (unless you draw things out, and literally kill me from the suspense! you don't want that on your conscience, do you?)
(Olive has no eyebrows, just noticed that). As much as I want the Beakers to burn in hell for all eternity, I do wonder if there is some hope for the baby. It's not his/her fault that s/he came from two assholes.
