He isn't the same man he was when he left this town. He is now totally confident and in control. He drove his firm's agenda instead of being steered by it. He found a intelligent, ambitious woman to marry. He even managed to convince Josh to take a vacation.

He finds his downfall in a pair of blue eyes. All he'd been told about the new Senior Counsel was that she's a Republican and a friend of Josh's. He should've known. How many Republicans does Josh consider friends?

Well, the feeling of being in control was nice while it lasted.
