Joan has seen a number of Ted's televised press conferences, and she's noticed the rapport he has with the reporters, so she's not surprised that they've been won over. It's kind of what Ted does, after all. He makes everyone around him feel seen and valued.
She can't help but wonder if that rose from his dad's suicide. That maybe he thinks if only his dad had felt seen and valued, he wouldn't have done what he did.
"We definitely weren't taking no for an answer," she says with a smile, but there's a touch of sadness to it, considering their commanding presence was part of a horrible experience that, thank god, wasn't the tragedy it could have been. Joan doesn't want to think about what might have happened had she and Rebecca been unable to get Scotland Yard onboard...but she can't help it. She had already been deeply in love with Ted, and losing him like that...
She takes a breath, shaking her head a little. "Anyway."
