RE:what is going on" What this is in one word: Reconciliation. It seems the two warring factions inside IRL are speaking to each other at last and coming to decisions that are for the good of the company (at last). However, I'd warn you all that you can't trust the Team Hodges end of this deal as far as you can throw them and that I'd expect Team Benavides to be wary of any traps they're trying to set."
