As Mercury stations direct, scheduling clashes with the crew finally ease up. Where there was gossip, squabbling, and drama, calmer waters now prevail. If feelings are still tender after weeks of low-key cattiness, why not open the floor for folks to air out their minds? Pass the virtual popcorn and let everyone have their say. Bruised egos tend to cause more damage when they fester, and the reverse also is true. Compassionate honesty between friends promotes deeper intimacy and trust.
