I think that maybe Peter kind of idolized Leonard a bit when they were kids. Like he knew that Leonard and Jared din't have a good relationship, but Peter didn't really get it because from the outside Jared's life must have been pretty neat what with his dad having a jaguar and a having a family beach house and probably being way richer than Peter's family. And that's why Peter wanted to be a lawyer and why he wanted in a a big law firm and why it always sort of kills Jared a little that he does a lot of this for Peter who wants to kind of be like his father. (that last bit may be my fanon angst for Jared kicking in)

Yes! That totally makes sense to me. And it gives Jared all sorts of pretty issues that also make sense to me and to his face.

Yes. The thing I'm still sort of half a bit sort of uneasy about in this season is how with Peter being the one that's hanging back slightly more from being EVIL CORPORATION, because even though it brings up LOTS of beautiful little angst things and also Peter held a dog and looked sad, which was worth a LOT, it would be nice to have Jared being all TORN some more about how Peter was just dragging his life away from him a little bit.

I think Jared doesn't really realize that it's happening to him. Like, he thinks that he's being all broken up and torn about it, but he's really just slipping quietly into this role of hard ass corporate lawyer, and sometimes Peter's sadness makes him extra sad, perhaps, but, because I assume that becoming a hard ass corporate lawyer is just like becoming a zombie, the infection is kind of just changing Jared's brain, and he can't even tell that it's happening to him. Plus, he has a really hard time blaming Peter for anything. Like it just doesn't compute that Peter is the reason that he got infected with hard ass corporate lawyer.
