I kind of suspect there is something else going on with Espo, though I have no idea what it is. Maybe this is just Me Not Getting It, but the ambush was such a disaster (and so nearly a tragedy) that Espo's anger towards Ryan seems overblown. It's not like everything would have been fine if Ryan hadn't tattled.

I think it especially irks me because Ryan was so apologetic about it when frankly, he shouldn't have to apologize for SAVING BECKETT'S LIFE and being the voice of reason when everyone else around him decided to go all vigilante.
