Bob grows a spine where there was none before, and Charlie carries out the 'coward's' duties once he joins the group. Once Bob's [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes greatest, most irrevocable fear]] manifests itself, though, Charlie steps up and proves highly effective against that particular threat. Until Bob can be assured that it won't recur for a while, he is practically ineffective -- and then he does for Charlie what Charlie had done for him recently. Then they realize, hey, they're not ''total'' wastes of space in this group so long as [[ButtMonkey David]] is around.
