I have to say, the throw down between John Ross and Sue Ellen - where for a tiny flickering, teensy moment it was about their relationship and not about the failed IPO - exceeded my expectations. John Henderson was vulnerable and layered. I get that's not the John Ross character but seeing how well he handled that scene made me kind of roll his eyes during the whole Emma "on your knees"/typical d-bag parts of the show.
Not that I want to soften him up but the added dimension was almost a relief - made the performance slightly less cartoony to me.
