Jack Still Has Some Issues
greggildr-2281628 December 2022
The paintball war is of value mainly because it shows that Jack still has some issues to work out. After being raped, he is still trying to exert control over his life and to stand up to the bullies. Phil is trying to understand what his late brother went through at Que Son. Nothing is resolved, but I think we understand their characters a little better.

Of more interest, perhaps, is Roxanne Turner's storyline with a couple who have a record of suing doctors. She questions herself but ultimately does what needs to be done. And, in the end, she learns that Mr. Gillette may indeed have a legitimate case against the previous doctors. There's a lot here to unpack, including how to make good decisions without complete information.

In the Yuri Peltrovich storyline, Mark Craig behaves as usual--like a total jerk. I try to understand his character (and William Daniels is always awesome in his portrayal), but he makes it very hard to sympathize with him or see where he's coming from other than his assumed superiority.

The Russian Is Coming
Hitchcoc30 March 2022
Two serious plot lines. One has Craig's efforts to get a surgeon from the Soviet Union to the United States, to rejoin has wife who works for the Craigs. The second is a contentious blood transfusion of a baby where the father is considered a danger to sue. We are also a part of a paint ball war which mostly seems stupid.
