		With no less than his family, financial health, and sobriety at stake, it's easy to side with Doyle, who is clearly the victim of Gavin's foolishly flip action (or, rather, inaction).
		Whenever Gavin's conscience leads him on the brink of a selfless decision--which is more often than one would suspect--there's always someone all too eager to set him back on a shady course.
