3.0

Charlie is back, thrust into the middle of a complex caper. We know even before he does that his presence is going to throw a wrench into everyone's plans, but because he isn't committed one way or another, and everyone seems some degree of loathsome it is a bit hard to care. The consistent theme of power causing people to become petty, awful tyrants remains.
