for me to see - Kate never sees Ben’s side. If anything, Ben starts coming more around to Kate’s objectives. And you know, Lauren’s goal at this point is just to keep the lights on. It’s - you know, when a character does become persuaded by another, there’s a lot of work involved. It doesn’t happen easily. If anything, that just becomes the main objective of that character’s story line. But yes, you know, the ideas do start to rub off on each other. But I will say, you know, nobody is coloring Kate’s mind. You know, Kate’s objective is the show. It’s the heart of the show. So Kate never will go over and see Ben’s perspective or Justin’s or Lauren’s. Though, she will you know help them out in a moment. There’s a situation that Lauren gets under - Lauren is - she’s being investigated for misconduct in one episode, and you know she has her reasons for doing it and Kate kind of goes along with it just to help her. But then afterwards, she definitely you know puts it to her and tells her how wrong and how, you know, inappropriate she was for doing this and how she did put everyone at stake for the decision that she made. So again, you know, it’s like other characters will be colored by Kate’s point of view, but I don’t think Kate ever really becomes persuaded by anybody else’s. (Carla Day):
Excellent. And I noticed when we were in (unintelligible), you know in Season 1, Leo has a lot of fun stuff on his desk.
