3* Jake was raised by his [[AlcoholicParent alcoholic father]] James who [[DomesticAbuse beat]] his mother Selena every night.

After hearing this out, Grace can no longer find it in her to hate Jake.

5* After [[UnstoppableRage viciously]] beating up Bad Bill's gang, [[MamaBear Grace]] confesses that [[spoiler:she killed in a similar way a group of outlaws who smashed nine of her ten eggs and can't stand outlaws for that reason]].
