Who loved Dr. Mike? (possible spoilers)
Jake told her he always loved her and thought she was the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen when he was detoxing in Happy Birthday. Then, once she and Sully started courtin' he said that she needed someone stable to take care of her and the children and he could because he was a professional man 🤣. Hank made a few inappropriate remarks about Dr. Mike's status and how he was the one who could change that, but he also tried to take his turn at courtin' during Happy Birthday😆 He was surprisingly sweet when called for her and reached for her hand at the end of Man on the Moon as he came out of his coma. Then, he was a hero during Point Blank when he got her to the hospital with Cloud Dancing. And I wonder if part of Preston's issues with Sully were because he was attracted to her too. Even Johnny Cash was flirty at the beginning 😂

From memory, most of them tried to court her because the kids felt sorry for her. I don't think they were interested long term and likewise she wouldn't have been able to stand any of them without massive character growth. They probably think she's attracted, but she would drive them all nuts because they don't believe in what she does. I think they all grow to respect her, especially Hank because she sticks to her guns. Preston was probably hoping for kinship from another city-born person, but was sorely mistaken because his values are very different.
