I have no issue with John going east. What is upsetting is that this decision to move is not new - he has wanted to be "home" - for quite a while. Hanging the Flames out to dry until literally the last minute shows a remarkable lack of respect on his part. Tree's only mistake was in believing John wanted to come back here.
Deep breath and move on.

That’s a pretty big mistake in a cut throat business though.
