Well good on Stephen for not backing down but he's definitely letting his past warp his view of everyone else. He (and probably Cutter if he's let this attitude persist despite their relationship and hasn't tried to help him) needs counseling to deal with what Helen did. But I'm glad he didn't just ask once and take Lester's word for it too.

and good on Lester and Blade for understanding even if it was very awkward.
