We now return you to your regularly-scheduled Ambiguous Date With Archie and Rowan!

…we’ll get back to Violet and company too. In another week. Hang tight.

THE RESTAURANT, ALL EVENING

Archie: My schedule is pretty unforgiving . . . thanks for being willing to squeeze into it.

I’m sure you passed up a hot date to be here.

Rowan: . . . actually, no. Just a guy whose profile implied he thinks smartcrystals give you cancer.

Archie: Oh dear.
