#so she really didnt have any mental authority over him?? not that juno has ever really cared about the older = authority thing

Okay but also when you consider that Rita is older than Juno by probably an absolute minimum of five years (and let's be real, it's probably closer to ten) so much of the shit she did to stick around and help him out makes that much more sense. Sure, the difference in maturity between 38-43/48 may not be so huge, but remember, they met when Juno was about 19. Whether she was 24 or 29, she would have still seen Juno as a kid.

And when someone you perceive as a kid goes through so many lengths to help you keep your own job and save your name while his own gets dragged through the mud? When everything they do in efforts to help make something better only smacks them into the dirt?? Of course you're going to want to help! Of course she stayed, that's her Dumb Baby Sibling who did something really rash and stupid and brave.

And once you see someone that way, your viewpoint never really changes. I'm sure 20 years of working together changed it a bit to where he's not really a kid anymore, but he also is in her heart. This is up until he can do some proper growing up in s2, where his new maturity and will to live put them on slightly more equal ground.

Idk. I just have feelings about Rita and Juno and their whole relationship I love them so much
