One thing that irritates me about Izzy is her getting narked at Gary for leaving and blaming Alya because Jake was awake all night one night just after he left. But Gary wasn't there for Jake. Well, since Gary doesn't live with Izzy, what difference would it make? Would she have called him over in the middle of the night? And if Jake ran off from her, is she going to blame Gary for not being there? That could happen any time even if Gary was with Jake. Kids get away fast.
