Leo

In the plot summary, it says "A devastated Leo finally agrees to Felton that Vaughn was indeed the shooter." Should this be Howard instead of Leo? Leo is the actor, and Howard the character, or was there actually a character called Leo? Matthewedwards : Chat 21:53, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yup, you're correct. I fixed it. — Hunter Kahn _(c) 00:04, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I am reviewing the article. Its an interesting article that conveys the flavor of the episode well. (I made a few copy edits which you are free to change.)

My one complaint is that per WP:LEAD, I think the lead could be beefed up more to reflect the contents of the article, including some indication of its ratings. (What were the high ratings attibuted to?)
- I took a shot at this. Let me know if it's better. Thanks for the review! — Hun ter Ka hn 14:30, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
