In which Kaab gets drunk and lets a secret slip to Rafe that she really meant to keep silent on...Eh, I didn't actually love the 'drunken' scene. The events themselves were believable, but the portrayal almost felt like a broad caricature. Similarly, I like the idea that Diane would be very good at chess - and not above using that talent as a tool in laying her schemes - but I didn't think that re-branding the game as "Shesh" was necessary.
