There's certainly a lesson here about how not to begin your college life. Eventually, the two start a brief affair, and Julie ends up getting humiliated by the assistant's wife. She gets close with her college teaching assistant, a married man. In Season 5, Julie is in college, feeling a little lost and isolated in her new life far from home. Who could blame Tim for moving out after all this goes down? But what comes next could put any soap opera to shame: Jackie ends things with Tim and hooks up with his older brother, Billy. Their fling enters even more questionable territory when Riggins becomes a father figure for the little boy. She's a single mom - at least a decade older than Tim - who can't resist his charm and the appeal of how he treats her young son. One of Tim Riggins' many cursed affairs is with his new neighbor, Jackie (Brooke Langton), in Season 1. He genuinely wants to help the young man - even if adult viewers can't help but notice that his approach often feels condescending and patronizing. But as he gets to know the kid more, Buddy begins to actually like him. Buddy sees himself as superior to Santiago and, no matter how good his intentions may be, views their relationship as something he can take advantage of to further his own ends. This story comes off as a bit of a white savior narrative, if a subtle one. Eventually, he even puts a roof over Santiago's head. His intentions are crystal clear from the beginning - he's using this kid in ways that could benefit him: first, to settle his relationship with Lyla, and second, to support his favorite football team. Later on, he talks Santiago into a tryout for the Panthers. So, when she tries to help out a Hispanic teen named Santiago (Benjamin Ciaramello), who just got out of juvenile detention and needs a job, Buddy tries to make amends by giving Santiago a job at his car dealership. In Season 2, Buddy's daughter Lyla has been holding a grudge against him.
