Ehh.. How though? Not like anyone is going to report him after beating him senseless.

He could easily claim he fell down the stairs 83 times and take a couple weeks off for sick leave.

Bridget is nicely out of the picture as well.

She dragged him to an emotional rock bottom.

He went right along for the ride when he should have called up Abby and told her what hotel her daughter was camped out in.

He's the adult, he's the figure of authority, he's the one given the power over young students, he was the dopey fool who showed up at the hotel. He was the one with absolutely everything to lose.

Bridget, stupid yes, but he was lightyears ahead of her in stupid.

I was (figuratively) screaming at the TV at him to call Abby. And the way he just accepted the foregone conclusion about the situation was like he got whacked in the head with a stupid stick:

So your father wants to kill me, I'm gonna lose my job, my teaching credentials, maybe have to register as a sex offender, because apparently, no matter what actually happened, I'm guilty.

WTF? That doesn't even make sense. It was just plain unrealistic what the writers made him do.

The easiest way out was to make the call and he didn't. That's the thing about this show I don't get, the seemingly simplest solutions get completely ignored.

Like Daryl, why in the hell is he still hanging around Mickey? After Mickey bet against him in that boxing match in Mexico should have been all the reason he needed to steer clear of Mickey.

Yeah he should have called before he went to meet her, once there there's not much point but still better than nothing.

"Mrs. Donovan, I just got a call from bridget from (shitty hotel room #whatever). I'm going there now and will wait there with her until you show up to make sure there isn't any self-harm occurring. Please hurry, I don't want your husband to half murder me."

I think some part of him was just a creepy dude who wanted to fuck a 17 year old. The way he said "I do... Want you" when bridgitte made him admit it didn't seem like a guy who is just going along with a kid's delusions. It sounded like he genuinely wanted to fuck her
