@CoGreen: The way Duncan treated Courtney in Niagara Brawls and Chinese Fake-Out seemed very out-of-character for him. I mean, he's always teased her throughout the first two seasons, but in those two episodes, he mostly treated her with outright hostility.

I could see it being payback for how she's always dominated him, not to mention a sign of continued attraction on some level (they always were a belligerent couple, after all; teasing was their way of showing interest in one another back in TDI, haha.) But still, like I said before, all it ended up doing was worsening Duncan's image and making Courtney seem like the victim.
