ranma, I really liked that scene, too. I loved that Mac knows when to NOT cross that line into being just a boss, and that this was one of those times. She was frazzled and emotional, and she needed the calming, understanding words of a friend, not the reprimand of a boss. She knew deep down she had been unnecessarily short with Lindsay, and that she was coming dangerously close to losing her objectivity, so she didn't need a boss shaking his finger in her face and spouting the obvious. She needed a friend to gently remind her of when they're all at their best - when they allow the evidence, not emotion, to guide them.
But no not much work would be done lol
