It's interesting that when we first meet Greta and Jo, Greta is overstepping and Jo is meaninglessly protesting. Greta always has needs that are too big, and Jo always has to live with it. It's kinda amazing that Jo put up with it for so long. Always being on call, Greta's feelings always trumping Jo's.
Jo would probably be better off without Greta, but Greta needs SOMEone and doesn't have anyone else. And Jo can't exactly trust Greta with herself, or anyone else with her. So Jo's just this... caretaker. And has been for, what, 20 years?
I'm glad that circumstances got significant enough to drive them apart, I don't know what Jo would've seen as a worthy excuse to begin living their own life otherwise. This show really has a lot of the people beginning to live their own life, really. Jo. Carson. Lupe. Max. Greta? Maybe Charlie, soon. And so many guides. Bev, Vi, Jess, Bert. And buddies figuring it out together.
A noisy poll because I like to get my nose in people’s business

He blinks, thrown off-kilter by the way she's looking at him. It's a little like she's taken his hand and tugged him after her, like they're at Lake Michigan and she's pulling him into the warm water. He doesn't know how to swim, but if she keeps smiling at him like that, he thinks he could be a quick learner.
OR: The Flower Pot and Black Lotus Tattoo Parlor are right next door to each other. Their proprietors are bound to meet eventually.

Heyy! So this is the look of our ALOTO character tournament!
Have a look! We’ll be posting the first couple of polls in a little bit.
Esti González vs. Bert Hart
Esti González: The youngest peach in the lineup, Esti makes her way from Cuba to play ball in the AAGPBL. While struggling with language barriers she forms a close bond with Lupe and Jess throughout the first season of the league. Watch out for her as she’s the fastest stealer in the league!
Bert Hart: Max’s estranged uncle, Bert has managed to establish himself as a pillar in the black queer community. He left Rockford trying to keep himself safe and found love in Gracie, his wife. Upon his return to the city he helps Max with her gender journey and gives her a piece of home and family when she needs it most.
