If only....Russell wasn't a dummy and so "enamored" of Parvati...he would have seen the brilliance of JT's plan (even if his letter was a little hokey) lol. Why wouldn't he go along...b/c Russell doesn't want anyone thinking they're calling the shots but him...even if he is too stupidly male to realize that Parvati is playing him like a loose fiddle. UGH.
Still...you gotta love it
