Can we agree that Justin and Max were both incredibly harsh on Alex???

Like I get it, this was what they had all been building up to their entire lives but their friends were in danger! They all chose to use their time-outs to help them, so why in the heck does the blame fall solely on Alex??? She just wanted to help them out! Unlike Max and Justin who just wanted to ignore the situation!

Friggen any other situation, they’d be like yo we gotta help our friends! And Alex literally did nothing wrong. And they’re out here acting like she just slaughtered their whole family.

Personally, I’d like to think Max was just going along with the anger because Justin continued (though he definitely felt it initially, I don’t think he would have been so angry for seemingly weeks). After all, it was Max who was the first to “break” in helping Alex out and basically silently forgiving her. And in the end, he did say “Any sister of Justin’s is a sister of mine” which is far more telling than you’d think, given that it came outta Max’s mouth and was promptly followed by a joke. 

And as far as Justin goes, when the whole Jerry shutting down the substation happens, I feel like at that point he knew he was being a bit irrational but that damn pride of his refused to back down. Like obviously he wouldn’t want his dad to shut down the substation but overwhelmingly it’s like he doesn’t want their dad to think their family was broken up but again that damn pride sooo that’s why when Alex (WHO WAS THE FIRST TO SAY SHE’D KEEP THE SUBSTATION RUNNING) said that she didn’t care that they hated her, Justin snapped back but still essentially wanted to help her and ultimately their family (because obviously he doesn’t actually hate her). Also, can we talk about how he basically tripped over nothing in that final bit??? He was nowhere near the damn root branches things...but I guess they blew their budget on that friggen griffin so whatever... “magical vines” blah blah blah...
