Tate J: Janie is still "Mrs. Mayor Starks" with the townspeople. We'll see how long that lasts as her relationship with Tea Cake develops.

Tate J: Janie officially surrenders to her newfound love with Tea Cake. He offers an escape from her repetitive life manning the store.

Tate J: Tea Cake's absence only makes Janie long for him more.

Tate J: At this point, Janie has given Tea Cake her full trust. If I woke up with someone I barely knew combing my hair, I wouldn't feel very comfortable.

Jack D: Janie is stepping away from living her life the way her grandma set it up to be. She set Janie on this path and now Janie is breaking free and beginning a new. I still think this isn't the best choice for her.

Jack D: People know that Tea Cake has no money, and he somehow showed up right after a more wealthy woman's husband died. I have suspicions about how his love with Janie will play out.

Jack D: Other men in the town are saying that Tea Cake is the devil. This is the first thought I had when we were introduced to Joe. Nice and a smooth talker on the outside but evil on the inside.

Jack D: The way Tea Cake is talking is a strategy to get sympathy from Janie. He is trying to get her to say that she likes him, this strategy makes me suspicious of his intentions.
