Episode 20 Morals

In plain English, these are the morals from Episode 20:

Neil Continues to be a Heel; Dru Heads for Home

I tuned in today and noticed they'd said there was a storm in Tahiti. Apparently it was just a ploy to keep Dru from having to answer the phone, but it seems to me there are a lot more interesting things one can do with a storm. So I tried one.

Company Head Keith Dennison Explains Jill's New Role; Jack Vows He'll Heal Jill's Ills with Crusade for Gender Equity

Ignore the part about Jack in this story--that's just me playing with simple-minded humor in order to keep this column from getting too serious.

Getting beyond the humor, though, I join others in believing that it's completely ridiculous for Jill to have slept with Keith during the closing of this deal. She probably hopped into bed with him way too fast anyway, just on general principles, but especially given that she's working with him, there are a lot of risks beyond the obvious emotional and medical ones. People don't respect others in business when they try to get their way with sex; what happens to Jill here in this story is just one of many kind of bad things that could follow naturally from her foolish action. The writers should never have written him into bed with Keith in the first place.

If we need steam, how about John Silva? The writers went to all that trouble to get him to no longer be her lawyer so they could have the two get together with a thin veneer of ethics still in place, but then never acted on it. John seems to have completely forgotten about her, and she him. How weird!

That's all for Episode 20's morals. Don't miss Episode 21 and its morals!
