Something tells me that K will see the relationship as a positive -- Bay's matured, she's not lashing out or getting in trouble & she's compassionate & empathetic where others are concerned. I can see J not liking this relationship, especially as this has been Bay's first real, serious relationship, thus commenting that being frienRAB with the deaf boy is one thing but dating him is a whole other. In true John fashion, I can see him asking K,"What kind of life does she think she can have with him?" I tend to think John would prefer his daughter to date a senator's son or something.
PS: can't wait for January and the new eps while sipping some Godiva hot cocoa and cuddling under my fleecy blanket!
