A good submissive always supports the dom.
I just realized that Jill and Derick are both where they are today, career wise, because of their mothers.
Derick seems the type who had a big shock (Dad died) and is now filling the hole with ANYTHING. College emulation of dad, marriage, babies, work, TV fame, stardom, effortless money. It's kind of sad. When will he feel whole? I guess he's not filling the hole with food, so that's something.
