Yeah, they totally needed more "water turns into blood" events if they wanted to motivate that sudden turn to church; either that, or they needed to make the science mesh with the "god module" in the brain (Robert Sawyer has a whole trilogy that's pretty much just about the wiring that apparently predisposes us to faith) and how the sonar interfered with the god module.
Eureka can be so damn appealing, and I hate hate hate how I have to ignore what's done to the women to enjoy it. I have no inherent problem with the guy looking down on her; lots of highly-educated people have that attitude precisely. And it's even credible, from what we've seen at the high school, that Jo's good friend would not be helpful on that point. But Jo should know her own worth better than that, and her prior relationship was also with a very technically proficient guy and she showed no problem with that.
