If you show up only 5-10 minutes early to your employment, you are still classified as being on time. Any questions?
If you haven't showed up to work for weeks, and you haven't showed up for any work related meetings you get fired. Don't bands usually practice like hell weeks before a big show? As far as I could tell Rae left well before the concert, in order to pursue the Haven thing, and she hadn't called or let anyone know she was alive until 10-15 mins before the show. She probably missed a lot of band meetings and band rehearsals which is a pretty big part of being in a band.
Rae doesn't seem to want this band thing as badly as Willie, because if she was serious about it, she wouldn't have left the way she did. It just shows her lack of respect towards her band mates and I'm actually surprised Lydia did something decent and fired Rae as her final act of Manager before exiting the stage.
I, not being the writer, had no fate slated for him. I appreciate when unappreciative asstards who throw tantrums because things didn't go their way get slapped down, yes. He did not conceed that she did anything for him; neither trying to find the old bike or fixing up the new one. Infact, not only did he not conceed that these were nice things done for him, but managed to use them against her in an attack.
Again, he can go cry in the corner because noone understands him or his music - when in reality he's a selfish prick who has no appreciable social skills.
I think that Willie had every right to be angry with Rae, nevermind the whole guy was getting paid by antagonist to screw over 'Mouse bit, because that has nothing to do with Rae's previous attitude regarding 'Mouse.
I'm glad Willie called her out on her shoddy attitude and I think he was very surprised that she DID do something nice for someone else (while she was MIA) besides being uberly selfish.
Granted he could've been a lot more appreaciative about the fact that she did something nice for him, but he was angry, and he lashed out in his moment of rage.
It's inexcusable, but understandable and if I was in Will's position, I probably would have done the same, because after a while, people get fed up with the same bullshit. I just hope that Chris can save this storyline, because right now it's kinda going down the drain for me. Everyone's just so idiotic, and I don't empathize with any of the main characters. The only ones that aren't screwing up royally are Em, Tom, and KIM. Kim's gone, and sad to say, but I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop on Em and Tom.
Damion could have stayed in the band, but I get the feeling that Damion was in the band because it was something to do and I think he mostly stayed on for Lydia.
I'm sure that if Willie found another singer, and contacted Damion he'd probably go back to Mouse.
