Sarah finally gets the straight story from Joey and is less than pleased with what she's told since it seems to say that Pal Joey has a bit of a gambling problem. (He wasn't at Jack's or Monte's, was he? Are we heading for a crossover? How will they make the two styles mesh? So many questions to answer. I don't think they've really thought this through.) Unfortunately he seems to have run afoul of some guys who probably could be placed under the "We Break Thumbs," banner, so now everyone is going to have to tread lightly. Of course, Sarah could just sick Mark on them and save herself the trouble, but she probably won't. She also shouldn't try to keep this a secret since both the Jack Elrod Ball and a random squirrel seem to have heard everything. (That is one amazing squirrel, being able to hear a conversation taking place in a building miles away.)Speaking of the squirrel in panel two, perhaps I was wrong. Perhaps it isn't the White Herons we should be keeping an eye on. Perhaps we should really be taking a hard look at the Gray Squirrels. Sure, we know that the Brown Squirrels are on Mark's side. Heck, they've played pivotal roles in more than a few cases, but the Grays haven't done much. For all we know they're working with the White Herons and the two plan to oust the Avians from their positions of power and take everything for themselves. (My, this is certainly getting complicated, isn't it?)
The more Joey talks, the worse things get. I guess this is why they should have just stayed in Smallville or Metropolis. Running a company is just too much responsibility, even for someone who might or might not be a man of steel and someone who might or might not be a reporter in love with said man of steel. (If he's afraid for his life, they're probably threatening him with a Kryptonite bullet.) Joey, Joey, Joey. You certainly are causing a lot of trouble, but at least you're teaching us an important lesson: don't choose people you owe enormous gambling debts to as your disposers of hazardous materials. They won't do it legally and only cause you more problems. That, and they'll still want their money.
Sarah, none too pleased with Joey, tells him that he has to come clean and tell the police or risk going to jail, but Joey doesn't seem to like that idea and asks her what else he should do. Good thing that Mark has decided to step in. After all, who better to deal with organized crime than a naturalist who travels around with a great big dog? I can't wait to see how this all turns out.
