I was debating whether to make this one part or two, mostly because I am now completely out of buffer (but not out of ideas). Since I couldn't post earlier this week, you get one long part tonight. The next part will be up when it's written and beta'd.
BTW, I'm assuming for the purposes of these boards that we are all familiar with the show, and therefore that you will know which lines I have shamelessly cut-and-pasted from the scripts. I'll put a propper acknowledgment in the notes when this goes to the archive.
