*** REPLACE THIS man WITH a number ***

I am not trying to read too much 'symbolism' into the show.  I am just
trying to see what other people think about the things I thought about
when I saw the show.  I am trying to start up interesting conversations.
No symbolism, just out and out why did number 2 send him home (as it
were)?  What do folks think about this?  Also, what do you all think
the folks sixy-babe used to work for did/thought when he dissappeared
again?  Let's hear some talk!
