Why is Christopher so desperate to have Paulines approval? ???

Best that than have her againt you it's like the school bully if they wanted to be your friend you'd take it just to get them off your back.

Wtf was all that crying about? Pair of muppets.
And Pauline wouldn't be building bridges if those chants hadn't happened...

So sad that she has that much power evil witch

I agree with James here. If you have to stay in a house with someone that hateful you do what you can to make it bearable. The tears are probably relief and release of tension.
