Episode Summary

Add/Edit

Jack has two tickets to a London performance of King Lear, but when he is forced to cancel his plans, he is forced to decide who to give the tickets to- the suck-ups Nina and Elliott, who just want the vacation on his private jet, or true Shakespeare die-hard Maya. The adventure that follows parallels the play. Nina and Elliott get the tickets, but their endless conniving against each other proves to be their undoing, while only Maya stays true to her father.

Finch: There's a fine line between courting and stalking. A Connecticut judge once spelled it out for me. [edit]
Finch: Ahh, I see Carmen Electra made the cover.
Elliott: Yeah, great shot isn't it? Notice how I made her sexuality leap off the page?
Finch: Oh yeah, you're a genius. You took a picture of one of the hottest women in the world, and somehow made her look beautiful. What's your secret, are you using some kind of film? [edit]

King Lear
The title and plot of this episode are taken from William Shakespeare's play. Jack is similar to the benevolent King Lear, Maya would be the fair Cordelia, Elliot and Nina would be the bickering sisters Goneril and Regan. [edit]
