Good point about why Alec stuck with Ed so long as was friends with
him. Yes, a compassionate and so feeling man as Alec would NOT have
worked so long with Ed, had he been as cold-hearted as he seemed to be
at times.
Pity they didn't have a more memorable exit for Alec, a promotion or a
cool death scene...
