[just thinkin]

omg...it was a joke for goodness sake. However, if you want to see it as not a joke...then it was JOEL that suggested they take the case from him...once chloe knew jack was uncomfortable she walked back to her bed. the slimy joel however persisted in trying to get the case from jack, and succeeded. ran to his bed screaming like a banshee saying ' we did it chloe, we did it chloe' - chloe had long given up and wasn't even near jack at this stage. He had to again throw off the responsibility from himself onto chloe even tho it was him that took the case.
then when bb said to give it back...how cringeworthy he was in his effort to 'run away with it' and then hand it back submissively.

i think joel really really really wants the money...but is playing a game saying it doesn't matter to him. its not working.
