Mentalist? Rod is a mind reader? lol

I just think that because they are in that environment trapped with each other day in and day out, he is obsessing a bit over having arguments with someone he really likes. And he keeps trying to clear the air by explaining himself, but in doing so the arguments just start back up. And I think that frustrates him so much because it isn't what he wants to happen. And that causes him to obsess over how to fix it even more. Rinse. Repeat.
