OMG yes. Logan looked like someone hit him when he 'learned' about MA. But yes, I loved Alec's reaction (interestingly, I loved Logan still not being able to stop loving Max, even after that, though I think when he would have found out it was a lie...look out!)

Re Zack: definitely agreed. If anyone could throw off the conditioning, it would be him.

Guuuh, DA had such fabulous characters...*weeps for nonexidtent third season* Though I guess it meant no more annoying Joshua so everything has an upside.
