Whew, I'm glad someone else saw that scene my way.  I didn't think
that guy (if it *was* a guy) was Dick's twin.  Dick just said "must
tell Ned. . . my twin, you know. . . we never. . . got on too well,
you see." etc., and then in the next shot we see this "guy" watching.
When Brett said it *was* Dick's twin, I couldn't figure out what I
missed.

On the other hand, I didn't see it as Jonathan either.  Could it be
what's his name, Eckert?  But what would the whole Nick'n'Dick
storyline have to do with Eckert anyway?  (Of course, now that the
secret of Nicky's parentage is out of the bag, anything could happen.)
Oh well, I'm sure it'll all be made clear in about six months.

Oh, I don't know.  Fist fight = food fight . . . not too shabby, I
think.  Good to see Chet survived last season, by the way.  :)
