Todd was about three seconds away from taking off his belt on Jack.

Too bad he didn't. The little twit should have gotten his ass kicked by his father for his attitude and for mouthing off to him the way he did. Tea sure got back from that hospital in record time.

I was kind of hoping that it was going to happen in some demented way. Even though Jack learned a lot of his bad behavior from his dad, he is a mouthy little brat.

I think Jack picked up a lot from Blaire and Dorian and the men Blaire keeps bringing into Jack's life. Blaire's always played games with Jack's life, using him as a pawn to hurt Todd with no regard for Jack's well-being. Jack adored his dad when he was little (except for the NotJack Spencer period) and Blaire just saw Jack as a weapon to hurt Todd. Todd's not a great influence, but Blaire and Dorian and their Todd-bashing have been the bigger part of Jack's life, so no wonder he's so messed up.
