Why This Must Be Read:
This is a great (short) scene for Hammond and Jack, set between S8 and S9 with Jack finding out about his promotion and transfer. Jack is himself, argumentative, irreverent and obstinate, and Hammond is perfect- understanding, sympathetic, but forcing Jack to face some unpleasant facts. It's a hard discussion, very true to canon.. funny, sad and fills in a lot of gaps that the series left hanging.
