Jack timed his entrance perfectly at the end of the broadcast, clapping his hands and announcing, “In honor of Rebecca’s triumphant first day back, we’re knocking off early! Dinner’s on me–we’re hitting up Joe’s Crab Shack for some lobsters!”

“You lost to Griffin?” Jack queried.

Carey nodded.

Jack’s face was a picture of shock.
