I feel really bad for Johnny in that situation. P.T. is asking a lot of him, and even though it is the norm in his species, he doesn't seem to understand that Johnny isn't really an alien either. He grew up with sims, so really, he is like them, and has more connection to their ways than some unseen alien culture. He's really caught in the middle. Johnny did have a really crazy night, with all of that happening.
You liked that Jill and Ripp scene, did you? I'm sure that Jill did too. She might be a little naive about some of it, such as the very different meaning behind the word "want" as she used it, and the way Ripp was using it, but it was a big event for her. You weren't the only one saying "Oh fuck!" when Johnny appeared, I'm sure.
Johnny did handle that situation fairly well, considering how he might have handled it. He had the sense to send Ripp away and not embarrass Jill in front of him (and well, I guess he didn't want Ripp to hear what he was going to say about him - although I'm sure Ripp expects that to come out of his mouth). Johnny really hopes that Jill will have more restraint than Ripp, but he might also have a word with Ripp later too.
That's a good point. Johnny might also be concerned that his sister will end up in the situation that he is in. It's in the back of his mind. If she doesn't also have to marry a half alien, he'll likely resent her for that. I'm sure he wonders about it too.
I'm glad you think that the shift in the relationship between the Grunts seems natural. They haven't changed, not really, but they are becoming more tolerant of each other, and accepting of the differences between them. Maybe they will even grow to appreciate those differences eventually.
There are benefits to being ignored by the Beakers, but it's not good that they're falling down on their duties as his "keepers".
Olive really would go after them, even if they were being kind to Nervous, but she isn't completely in the dark. Death himself told her to take revenge for what they have done to him (he knows, afterall), so she knows that they haven't been taking extremely good care of him. She knows that he wasn't technically adopted, so she wonders about that. She's also been watching them, but she doesn't know exactly what is going on in there. You're right, though. It wouldn't matter to Olive. They're guilty by the simple fact that they have her son.
