Summary: Some times he felt like Rodney Dangerfield...



Some times he felt like Rodney Dangerfield, 'I don't get no respect'. Being told that he couldn't investigate a scene because it fell under GD's purview. Having people question his sanity while all he was trying to do was keep the city safe. Questioning his ability to keep the city safe because he didn't have the power to stop GD experiments from going wrong before they caused trouble.

Then he'd stop and think about how Zoe had grown in her time in Eureka, not just in maturity but into herself. Think about the relationships, friendships, that he had made since coming to Eureka. Despite the anger he felt at Henry for the stunt he pulled and the pain that he felt at Allison and Nathan's engagement he wouldn't trade them for anything.

Still it would be nice to be allowed to do his job once, with out being blocked by the investigation having some connection to GD or having someone question his methods.

Nice! It's a really good overview of Jack and how he interacts with the town, and of course it's always important that he remembers how much he loves all the people there so he doesn't give up after almost dying every other week.
