Good is being happy for an old friend.

Good is looking Jon Lyle up at his swanky new London address and realising Lyle’s moved in with his boyfriend, tripping over the teenager who also inhabits the place, and realising that Lyle’s sort-of stepdaughter is a scary bitch. It’s telling Lyle he has ‘fucking stepkids!’, seeing Lyle wince, and hearing him say: “Yeah. It’s not that bad. If you don’t actually think about it, it’s quite cool.” It’s nosing around the photographs on the mantelpiece, and discovering that Lyle has a family which loves him. He deserves it, the lucky bastard.
 
Bad is losing contact with an old friend.

He never meant to lose contact with Jon Lyle when he joined UNIT; it just sort of happened. They were always good mates right from when they joined, and they knew each others’ friends too –Ryan, Jacobs, Stringer and Robinson, and that one with a thing about knives- but once he’d joined UNIT, that had ended. Hamza only realises how badly he’s drifted away from Jon when he hears on the grapevine that Jon’s friend Ryan has been killed. There’d been a time when he’d have been the first person Jon told.

Ugly is realising you’re on the opposite side to an old friend.

Invading the Anomaly Research Centre on Christmas Eve was a terrible op from a professional point of view, and from the personal even lousier- although he had got to tackle Jenny Lewis to the floor, something he’d like to do more often. But the worst bit had been coming face to face with Jon Lyle, just doing his job exactly the same as Hamza always did, and finding out that, if it had come to a fight, Jon could have put a bullet through him without thinking twice.
