2-3-4 Challenge Book Discussions #2 discussion

Sophia and Decker are still struggling to interact with each other on the job, going so far as to not be in the office at the same time or serve on the same ops. Meanwhile, Dave is trying to bring them together despite his own feelings for Sophia. Tom finally puts his foot down and issues them an ultimatum. Your thoughts about the whole situation?

Totally wacked. Decker is just not acting like a normal person. I get that he's guilty and embarrassed about his interaction with Sophia, but there comes a point when he needs to put on his big boy pants and get over it. Dave is trying to make things normal and move beyond what happened, thinking that if they all just acted like normal people, they could find a normal way to deal with each other. Tom was right to try and force them to interact. The tension between them couldn't be good for the team.

I thought Decker and Sophia were both acting like 5 year olds that had to be separated because they couldn't play together. Sure, Decker feels guilty about what happened with Sophia, but this was ridiculous. He needed to get over it and she needed to confront him long before Tom made the ultimatum.

I can see that Dave is trying to be the peacemaker between these two, even though he is half in love with Sophia himself. I feel kind of bad for him.

OMG! These two were being so childish. Decker's reaction to the events in Kazbekistan was overblown but Sophia should have just been forthright with him - avoiding him was not the answer.

Tom's ultimatum was a good call. There needed to be some consequences.

This situation gives me brain weariness. They’re all too old for this and the only one who should have any angst at all is Sophia for what she’s suffered and come through. Decker needs to grow up and Dave needs to stop trying to protect Sophia.

It was too tiresome and bless Tom for saying, “enough!”

I agree with all of you. I can't add anything except that Decker's actions make me think less of him. It is ridiculous. Hurray for Tom!
