While Tracy deduced that Rebecca Stanley was the woman in the DOS security video, she never had a clue about Owens until they arrived at Stanley’s apartment. Your thoughts about that scene, specifically how both Tracy and Leah handled themselves?


Sharon Kallenberger Marzola | 3485 comments They handled the situation perfectly. As Battles said, they both have good chess moves. They think ahead about what their opponent might do before they make a move instead of looking at what is in front of them.

Tracy negotiated with Owens and Stanley, one of her strengths. Leah used her self-defense skills to take both Owens and Stanley by surprise. Even though they all saw the video of Leah in action, her moves took them both by surprise.


Robin (robinmy) | 2450 comments You nailed it, Sharon.

Did anyone else suspect Owens was involved? Or were you also caught by surprise?

Tracy and Leah actually make a good team!

I was shocked when Owen pulled a gun on Tracy and Leah. Him being a bad guy never crossed my mind.

I didn't suspect Owen at all. He surprised me.

I really, really like that Dugoni creates smart women characters. Yes, Sharon you did nail it!

Tracy and Leah instinctively knew to look for cues from each other. However, Tracy didn’t see all those skills coming. But, Tracy really worked Rebecca psychologically and it saved her life.

It was a magnificent scene where both women combined their skills to maneuver out of a bad situation.

I never saw Owens coming. I actually gasped when he turned the gun on Tracy. Wow.


~Melissa~ | 429 comments I don't think I can add anything to what you've all said. Tracy is wonderful with words and like you've said it was funny that Leah's moves in action surprised them.
