When Josh doesn't accept it and Henry mentions booting Josh, Alex and Krystal both look dismayed and Alex admits in the confessional that he feels bad for Josh.

In "Attenzione: La fine é vicina", Alex was the only one of the Gopher boys that took up for Josh when he laughed at Doug's pain. During the run around the lake, Alex notices Josh bullying Doug which he vehemently hated.
