As per usual, I really enjoyed this episode.
Excellent idea of piling up the costs in an effort to get Pope to change his mind about cutting a person from the team. Shame it did not work.
Shame on Brenda for letting Gabriel off to transfer so she would not have to take a decision. Part of her job is administration and she truly sucks at that.
Brenda also needs to commit in her private life, probably her upbringing. Fritz sure is smart. He knows how to win an argument.
I'd move for Fritz.
