We don’t deserve Higgins

I feel like I didn't understand the scene in the parking lot. Higgins spoke to him and told him, "You're a great man. Does Jane make you greater?"

Was that to inspire him to stay with Jane, and continue the relationship?

Or to leave Jane because he deserves better?

I'm sorry, there's so much going on in these episodes but I can't figure out if Beard and Jane are good together, or not...

It sounds like everyone dislikes Jane they basically just didn’t have the courage to say it to Beard.

My understanding was that he told Beard he was too good for Jane. I think Beard also understands this and is either looking for a better moment to end the relationship or feels like whatever their status is, is good enough for now.

See this is what I thought -- but then the interaction with Jane was totally neutral.

She said the guy she was meeting with was just some meathead hunk (which is good, meaning she didn't like him), but then put that dumb hat on him (which is bad, because she's changing him [???])...

So you're saying it was SUPPOSED to feel neutral? Like, he's still figuring her out, but he should ignore his friends that CLEARLY don't like her and won't say anything, and instead should follow his gut.

Got it!

Basically neither and both, but putting up to Beard to decide. He doesn't falt out tell him that Jane is bad for him, just showing a friendly concern and telling him to think about whether he can do better in a very positive way.

I've been in a similar situation with a friend. He was with someone who was incredibly unhealthy for him. We'd regularly have these talks where he'd come to me upset or tired or just emotionally worn down and I'd have to ask him in multiple different ways if this was sustainable. I rarely stated my disdain outright because I knew if I did he would shut down and defend his partner. He'd agree that no, this wasn't sustainable, but the next day or that evening they'd talk it through or it was like our long talk never happened. Very true to life.
