Radar has no idea why he expected to do all the work alone. It's not like he's been without support or friends since he got here -- definitely the opposite -- and besides, Edgar's lived at the ranch for months. Maybe it's just that taking charge means solitary, somewhere in his mind, so when all the neighbors start showing up with casseroles and tools and offers to help he just about bursts into tears right there.

(He doesn't. He's still trying so hard not to cry where folks can see. But it's close.)

Fever's hug turns out to be another big test of the not-crying thing. He clings back, a little harder than he means, and sniffles against her hair. "Hey Miss Fever," he mumbles.

Taking charge also means he's lapsing back into old Army habits, like calling her 'Miss' again after months of mostly not.
