She knew this and I would think that, as his friend she wouldn't go there.
Last friday the hms were speculating about having new people join them. Josie made countless remarks to JJ and the other HMs about JJ running off with another Sheila. As soon as the newbies arrived Josie made up her mind that JJ would prefer Keely and from that time on she was taking pot-shots at him ... I think that as JJ (unbeknown to Josie) had the tree-task, Josie assumed JJ was sniffing after Keely. As soon as JJ mentioned the Crab eyes thing, she launched into a 'jusifiable' seperating from him before he split with her.

Spot on, mate.

I thought she was a little cruel last night (tonight's HLs), but I can understand why she got so defensive. I can also see it from JJ's point of view as well. Don't get why some people aren't as sympathetic towards the situation. I guess it's because I've been in a similar situation myself so I can relate.
