So: flirting. Intentional flirting, even! Frank could do that. Probably. He Googled some stuff and watched some videos and then, with a big boost of Red Bull-inspired courage, put up a new page - a liver - and wrote: did you know the ancient Egyptians thought that the liver was the physical source of human emotion?

Langdon doesn’t know how long he’s been staring at the board when Dana snaps her fingers in front of his face.

“You’re pullin’ at your ear like my kids every time they got an infection,” she says as he blinks a few times, trying to focus on her. “You’re not yourself today—what’s going on?”

He immediately drops his hand to the desk, then levels Dana with an unamused gaze. “I’m working sixty hour weeks after sitting on my ass for nine months is what.”

Shaking her head, Dana twists her mouth to the side in thought. “Nah, that’s not it—you love this shit. I’ve seen you do it in your sleep.” She looks him up and down. “Comin’ down with something?”

“No.” Maybe he’s a little too forceful in his reply; Dana raises an eyebrow. “Out past my bedtime being the prettiest little addict in the basement of St. Mary’s last night.” That part is true, but even he can hear that his voice is different, consonants just a little blunted.

“Uh-huh. So, you want me to tell Robby you’re workin’ sick?”

still not over the stephen colbert thing, the way they're punishing him so much by not only essentially firing him but cancelling the show he loves in its entirety, which means also punishing all 200 people who work for and with him on the show.

it is setting an example. it's saying, "this is what happens when you speak truth to power. we will not only punish you. we'll punish the people around you that you've led and loved. is it worth it now, stephen? would it be worth it, other late night talk show hosts? if you don't keep quiet, we will quiet you". the other late night talk show hosts are not all under paramount (iirc, it's just the daily show), but this sets a precedent that tells them they are all vulnerable.

"it's not a big deal" idk man it really seems like it is

It would be bold— to invite your wife to a party you know your mistress is going to be at.

Langdon has never been known for his restraint.

or: one year after Frank returns to work, Abby and her family attend Jack Abbot's 4th of July party.

"Why not?" he asked, his voice lowering. He reached up and tugged her down by her collar, laying a feather-light kiss against the bottom of her chin. "I want her to know who's house I'm staying at tonight."
