There's an old saying where I come from,....

... you can't make chicken salad out of chicken shit. These guys don't seem to be able to make chickenshit out of chickenshit.This was the most transparent way to rehabilitate everyone - Liz's psychosis not withstanding.Red is an angel compared to Townsend. Red would never do all the stuff Townsend was willing to.Liz is doing everything under the spell cast by Kate.Now everyone can kiss and make up at some stage.
