I have mixed feelings on this.  While I agree with you 100% that Hayley
should not be left at the office "recept"ing, I don't think she should
have come barging in on Charlie like that.  If Charlie's shmoozing had
really been working, she would have blown it by showing up and butting
in.  They should be a team or have separate assignments, but neither
should butt in on a situation that the other may have spent some time
setting up.

An excellant point ... IOAS, IOAS, IOAS ...

As kids would say "it takes one to know one" ... Jack is the a control
freak himself and can't stand to have Dim do what he [Jack the wonder
lawyer] *knows* is the best.

This was really quit *excellent*.  Erica brought up several points 
that everyone else (except Edmund) must find quite obvious.  I also
thought Lucci did quite a good job with the speech ... it should 
have had an effect on Edmund.

As soon as Dim starts heading toward the sound, I said to my BH,
"some one is going to come out of the house and say 'Dimitri',
distracting him so Edmund can get away" ... what can I say, this
story is getting REAL predictable.

No surprise here, either...
