Cole is an idiot, and the sight of him gives me a headache from rolling my eyes so hard. He's seen first hand what an unstable headcase Hannah is. Him taking her hearsay and raging out made him look like the buffoon he is. When all is said and done, though, that retarded muppet won't face any charges...despite how he should still be on probation for his drug episode, and how an assault charge should land him in prison. John and Nora will see to it that he walks, and in the meantime, Starr will use her powers of persuasion on Todd to stop him from settling the score. Then from there we'll then be treated to more of his generic, sanctimonious muppetry.
And the whole "beating Todd up" scene was weak. He sneakily pushed him from behind, Todd fell and looked like he probably hurt himself from the impact of the fall, and then Cole proceeds to punch him from there. Shoulder to shoulder, he wouldn't have been able to take Todd.
