Now that I've met him... I fuckin' know he's not the one we should be mad at.

[But she's guilt-tripped him enough already and dictating what he alone should be angry about is more accusing than ever. So it's 'we'.]

[Because even if he broke the terms of the deal, she's still got his back when it comes to his father. And it's important for him to know that.]</sub>
