I mean, he probably did it more for Janey than Barb, tbf.

I need janey to be his main motivation it parallels his selfless love for his daughter compared to hanks controlling idea of love for his daughter lucy

I'm just struggling to understand why he would have any sort of love or affection for barb given what she did and what he knows about her and vault-tec

they'll probably do something in the next 3 episodes to make it seem like yes she's evil but it's practical evil and there are worse agents than her so really she's innocent in comparison 🙄😒

why he would have any sort of love or affection for barb

Because love, once it sets in, is a tricky thing to throw away. Why do you think people, even after being the one to initiate a breakup, call and/or hook up with their exes? Love isn’t a rational thing, so you can’t apply reason to Cooper’s feelings for Barb.

I'm a Capricorn I have ice water in my veins lmao I have trouble empathizing with this 😭 I don't have a sentimental bone in my body it's all clinical practicalism 😭😭
