Yep.
For Redemption arc 1 read = I'll play the victim because my ex had the nerve to tell me to my face what I did to her - 'the callous bitch'!
For Redemption arc 2 read = I've lost my kissy partner and my bully partner and I can't do the things I did before as I haven't got them to bolster my confidence ....so I'll act all sanctimonious and hurt and get all the ladies out there wanting to comfort me and get me the win because I'm just a lovable little Teddy Bear really who never meant any harm.
Pass me the sick bucket...

In relation to that task? Nope not Imo. Both Aubrey and James thrive off giving what they feel is sage advise and how folk can improve. It's sanctimonious sometimes with both of them Imo but not malicious. As the most disruptive hm, he was an obvious choice in relation to this. I actually felt the comments re Lewis were more personal? I believe Bear fully expected it from those particular two in terms of counselling comments and he seemed to brush it off.
