Man, doesn’t it seem like Will is always crying lately? Seems kind of strange for a kid his age. Do you suppose it’s his "feminine side"?
And I thought he was really whimpy when he was begging EJ to keep his job. I didn’t think that would be the way to go about it. I don’t blame EJ for firing him.
is the writers’ way of showing the audience how desperate he is, and therefore feeling so helpless and in depair as to want to shoot EJ. Also, his crying shows how emotional the past few months have been for him–his mother, EJ, coming out, etc. Again, all these things are building up to push him over the edge. At least I think that’s the writers’ intent for what they want us to believe about Will.
