* Dominique defending Howard at the Stoddard Temple Trial, at the cost of her job on the Banner. She knows it was going to happen.
* Also during their MasochismTango she makes sure that he gets HoistByHisOwnPetard often. For starters when Sally Brent, a fluff columnist, manages to enter the penthouse, Dominique happily gives her the story he wants while Gail wants his wife out of the Papers. She laughs when Gail comes home after firing Sally and tosses the proof cut at her. Another is when she makes him attend ''No Skin Off Your Nose'', a StylisticSuck play that the Banner had applauded. Gail at first says AnythingButThat and was hoping for a quiet night in, but eventually he goes along with it. He does tell her to be quiet about it when she starts saying that the play ought to be in his private gallery.
