Notes:

1. Jack walking into the glass wall: priceless.
2. You're right, Ben. The next few weeks will be very unpleasant. I'm not exactly fond of the first several episodes of Season 3.
3. Tom says that Kate isn't his type, which foreshadows us finding out that Tom is gay.
4. Jack stalking Sarah and telling her she looks pretty in the lawyer's office, when she's clearly adamant about them getting a divorce is so pathetic.
