I could see this because, in a twisted way, Jake is putting Danny first. Killing Danny because Danny killed Dennis and is about to the Mitchells means that Jake is putting Dennis and the Mitchells above Danny, which I think is one of my problems with it.
I think that though would be hard to pull off. There's no one around Jake could talk to about it, so we wouldn't be able to get in the insight needed to see that was his reasoning. One of my other problems is how to you then get Jake past it?? I have no problem with them bringing Jake down to his absolute rock bottom, in fact I want them to because I think that's where the best stories are. If this story is true we'll see a very dark Jake afterwards. I just don't know if they could realistically bring Jake back up again afterwards. :searchme:
