This episode must have been written back when James Hall was still playing Willie, and, rightly or wrongly, it seems weird to me to see John Karlen with James Hall's lines.
Not being a Burke fan, while Jason and Burke were talking I found the background much more interesting than the foreground. We could see Joe and Maggie talking. And we know that Joel Crothers and Kathryn Leigh Scott were friends, so I wondered if they were really talking or just pretend talking, and decided it had to be pretend, because you never know where a real conversation will lead, and anyway, Joe was doing all the talking, and, not so coincidentally I'm sure, his was the only mouth we could see.
