Atta Girl

Alex believes in supporting law enforcement, even if it’s the private, breaking into your mother’s house kind.

Anything she can do to help get him out of their lives…

The real quesion is: how is J. J. going to make this Mike’s fault?

There’s more to this…

Will they share the bounty with Alex for giving them that information?

“AIEE”. Nice comic book scream, Alex

started to read this story line a few weeks ago and is hilarious

Good thing she was there. They might not have found him otherwise.

NOT her favourite step-father then?

Way to point out the rat kid. Now go keep your mom sane.

Get the video and post it.

Probably after him due to the ecological damage done by that barge he and J.J. sank during Mike’s wedding reception…

Sometimes, there is justice, or something like it, anyway.

Recovers fast… doesn’t she?

The removal of Stupidhead. Early Christmas present for Alex!

And all of you said that Zeke isn’t worth anything!

How many kids get the real chance to throw Mom’s crummy boyfriend out the door?

Happy to help.

I’d like to say this never really happens. :(

J.J. has a totally codependent relationship with that loser.

While two armed men bursting into a child’s bedroom is.. underving I do love just how effortlessly Alex sells out Zeke. Like she is n’t even bothered by the armed men thing as much as a 9 year old should once she hears “oh uncle stupidhead is finally getting arrested, thank god. Please make it messy”

If only they’d been successful. But at this point Zeke’s already out the window, leaving JJ behind with instructions to “distract them.”

Yow! Pointing a loaded weapon at a little girl asleep in her own bed is not cool.

She’s handling this amazingly well.

She should have asked, “Dead or Alive?” and offered to double the bounty to make it the first one.

Alex didn’t miss a beat giving Zeke up!
