Tibias is Jake's direct superior, right? What if, in response to Jake's insubordination, Tibias relieves Jake from command of BAM-HQ?
And then replaces Jake with who appears to be his new most favored operative: Demitri Redbox!
Could that be what Tibias has in mind? Is that why Redbox has been so "nice" to Jake? Is that why Tibias has been so evasive?
I thought the transition to the "new actors" in the roles was handled smoothly. The change was briefly acknowledged through a bit of repartee about working out and hairstyles, and then the story moved right along after establishing who these two different-yet-familiar characters were. I thought it was handled well, somewhat like when a new artist takes over a comic strip and brings a different illustration style.
