This episode is one of my favorites. You really get to see Joan Ferguson slowly loose control. Pamela Rabe does an excellent job with portraying Joan. When Joan looses control she cannot accept the harsh reality in front of her. This is especially noted when she is willing to risk the deputy governors life. Vera would not be able to last if she were governor. Vera fell into a trap and was unable to defend herself. The sad part is that Vera constantly seeks Joan's approval. If Vera found out how Joan really felt I can bet she'd still be the Deputy. She is not the smartest person and relies too much on her feelings to dictate her decisions. Also on a side note I really love how when Joan is called on the radio she does not respond as "Sierra" but as "This is the Governor"
