I have thougt So. Much. about Billy. I have lots of thoughts about Billy. Er. Well, those kind too.

Okay, so huh, maybe you're saying that Billy used Joe in that way through ommission rather than out and out subversion?

Yes, actually. That's just what I'm saying.(I read somewhere once that Noel Baker the screenwriter originally conceived of Billy as even more of an asshole than Callum wanted to play him. Maybe that's colored my interpretation somewhat.) I don't think Billy's above doing a lot of things to get what he wants (especially if we throw in the interpretation that suggests he made a deal with the devil. That's *ambition* man), and if it means using Joe then he will. I think he'd be sorry to hurt him, but he'd do it anyway. But in this case I think he saw Joe as the closest way to get what he wanted and went for it. And then when Jenifur ended up coming through after all, that became the closest way to get what he wanted.

I also think as he gets more comfortable with Joe again there might be a tendency to take Joe's feelings for him for granted. That's another way to deal with the resentment he might be feeling towards Joe--act like he's entitled to Joe's feelings.
