Yeah...Patricia's way is good when it comes down to high stakes and when things need to get done immediately...She will make sure it happens. But since she lets her emotions get the best of her at times, it messes her up, because her 'bad' acts are all open, and make it very easy for her to conflict with others, and it also makes her impulsive...And this shows, because of how more often she tends to get in trouble than others do.

Jerome and Joy's style is better when there is something that isn't immediate and when problems are more personal. Of course, they can get away with more...but it just makes people angrier when they learn the truth, because they had gotten fooled...

Now, if Patricia and Joy or Jerome had to be partners...they'd be unstoppable...with Patricia's unstoppable drive, and Joy/Jerome's ability to be sneaky and to get around rules...They'd be balanced, each flaw would be covered by the other person...

And yeah, Mara's style in season 1 was more "Do it now, regret it later". She really should have learned a lesson...Maybe by Mick actually having gotten expelled because she failed to step in, and she realizes the true gravity of what she did, and how it can't be fixed too easily...and how not to go too far with revenge and jealousy, *cough*
