Man, I thought that would never happen!  However manufactured and convoluted, the ultimate goal is to get Mark the heck out of there…  So now Mark will be traveling to DC to grapple with the forces of vested, special interests.  Does he realize that he is one himself? Or is the Conservation cause so self-evident that he need only remind Senator Mason that he “needs to do the right thing??”

I wonder if Mark can even hear Dusty in the final frame…
