[It's video time with Jeff! Why can't he just do text like normal people, you ask? Because then the world wouldn't be able to see his beautiful face, duh. He's at his desk, lounging like a pro with a full glass of scotch held at eye line, managing to look somewhat thoughtful as he keeps his narrowed eyes on the alcohol before him.]

I went home like a month ago. Did one of those away for a day, lived a year things. Kinda makes you wonder what game the Porter's playing with crap like that, some weird ass brand of temptation and torture all in one.

So, real talk here, imPorts... If we all got told they didn't want us any more, that we got 24 hours to decide whether to go home or stay here forever, what would you do? Is what you built up here enough to keep you? Or are you just gonna be counting down the hours to get back and see those you left behind?

Pretty deep stuff, huh?

[He finally looks to the camera, just starting to reach to turn it off, before...]

Oh! And uh, season one of my show is drawing to a close soon. I know you've all been watching it avidly. Gotta start considering my options for next season, so wanna guest star? Got ideas? Wanna be in the crew? Hit me up. Time to make season two even better than the first. [And he's out, with a final, winning smile.]

You'll need a degree to give me that third degree, darling.

[ She makes a sound of disgust. ]

You are unbelievable.

Isn't that what you like about me?

You just don't know when to stop, do you?

Does that mean you're going to make me stop?

I don't know. Do I need a degree for that, too? Am I educated enough? Because obviously I'm incapable of knowing what I'm talking about without a lousy piece of paper saying that I know what I'm talking about.

I was only kidding, Raina.

I didn't find it very funny.

Very well. Hardly a crime worth punishment though, is it?

You insulted me. Publicly.

[ So. Unamused. ]

Are you saying that not having a medical doctorate in psychiatry is an insult?

-- And besides the point, I've already been berated. What more do you want? Shall I sink to my hands and knees?

[Because HE THINKS that's what Jeff wants!! If the above image is any indicator!!]

That isn't what I'm saying. It's an insult to my upbringing.

[ Her lack of formal education. Her lack of privilege. The fact that she clawed her way to the top by her own means. She was never lucky enough to have the opportunity to earn a college education. ]

You look down on me because I am not up to your level.

[He frowns at that -- pretension flowed through Chilton like blood through his veins, but he picked and chose where to inflict it. An offhanded, off-colored comment at Raina held no bite behind that bark.]

No. No, not at all. I have always cared about you, admired you. I had, in fact, forgotten that you were not classically trained.

[Such was his privileged, upper middle class and quick to sneer.]

Because you are so good at what you do.

[ Well, that does earn a smile -- a faint one. ]

Then I suppose I can pardon the offense.

So we're fine, now? Unless you require additional placation?

[ Well. They're not really fine. And that shows on Raina's face. ]

I'm appeased for now. I'll see you when I get home.

Additional placation, then. [Reading between the lines.] So be it.

[This would definitely be a night spent on hands and knees.]
