I think this exchange is actually an example of a healthy, equal relationship. Despite doing something that hadn't been discussed and *perhaps* made abbey angry, she still understands that Jed just went through a potentially traumatic experience. Jed understands that he did something, wrong acknowledges it, and both of them address each other as equals and in a civilized manner. They both understand that now is not a good time to talk about it, and agree to do so later. That conversation may have been a little more tense, but the beginning of the conversation which we see here is still a good example of good communication and honesty, which are both valuable and key in the relationship
Have to watch this episode again. Saw Jim Beaver listed as one of the guest stars but can't recall his role. Only role that I know him in for sure was Ellsworth in Deadwood but he played a great character in that.
Sorry Mr. President you screwed up here. By all means disagree with your wife. You're not her puppet. But making unilateral decisions that will affect her, without a discussion? Not cool.
Stockard Channing starred with Will Smith in 1993's Six Degrees of Separation. And then Will Smith slapped the sh!t out of Chris Rock on live TV at the 2022 Academy Awards. Coincidence? I think not.
@@jasonkoch3182 My comment remains the same - no person runs with the expectation of serving just one term no matter what the character of Jed said to his wife. Silly, unrealistic plot point.
@@gheller2261 True. If she really knew her husband than this would not have been a surprise. It makes for good drama, but if these two are as close as the show suggests, then she should have beat him to the punch and said, "So, when are you planning to tell me you'll be announcing that you're running again?"
she could have been angry and also not surprised at the same time. She was a match for him, clearly very intelligent. There’s no way she was surprised.
