states what is generally true, I think what we find in SW is a John who not only has experienced a sudden burst of maturity through taking on an unexpected, adult level of responsibility in WDMTGTS but also a John who has been given an assignment directly by his father -- a father who has been away for quite some time apparently, a father who has witnessed John's growth in maturity and approved of it, and a father who John must be immediately accountable to. John responds to his father not only as his own father but as the commanding officer that he is.
In contrast, Nancy was expecting only more holiday fun and games.
