Oh, I know Catherine has been Steve's girlfriend since the beginning. However, she and their relationship have been largely off-screen. I've gotten the impression that she's going to be around a lot more, and I hope that it's going to actually work when we can see the two of them together more than once or twice a season.

It's possible that Joe didn't know Doris was alive (and Shelbourne) the entire time. He could have discovered her or information about her previous work long after it was too late to keep John from destroying his life. However, I'm more inclined toward the "Joe is a scumbag" school of thought, particularly after the way he jerked Steve around about this whole thing.

Doris strikes me as being cold-hearted, selfish, and generally a waste of oxygen. I wouldn't put it past her to have two kids that weren't her husband's. Her going into hiding has been far more effective at keeping her safe than at keeping the rest of her family safe, and goodness knows she's still lying to Steve about plenty of things.

Remember when we used to watch this fun buddy+team action show on Mondays?
