Yeah, Buck seems to make the most of any situation. Either that, or he's too clueless to notice the drama unfolding right behind him, the poor little thing. *snicker*

I'll have to give Mary-Sue some thought, since I'm not fully sure about how I'll handle her character. Her bio depicts her as an optimist, but her career ambitions and political leanings give me the impression that she doesn't take crap from anyone. I guess that's why Daniel was shown to the door (and his little maid too).
