Good point about Interview, Marty. I just got the impression that the writers intended for the hard-nosed attitude Jack reverted to in The First to extend well past that single episode. It didn't seem like something he would get over soon. Then again, to me The First ended in a way that almost seemed as if it could have been used as a series closer; David moving on after suffering his greatest disappointment with McGee hot on his heels with intensified zeal.
