* FemmeFatale: Althea. She's basically sleeping her way to the top, first in Tabey Industries (by sleeping with Jerry, who quickly finds out how mercenary she is) and then by [[spoiler:trying to sleep with Chuck when Omaha's run off during their break-up. Chuck tosses her out, and Althea quits the firm the next day]]. She then works her way into the corrupt mayor's circle of businessmen behind the A Block demolition and seems to be a major player. [[spoiler:Subverted in the end that, while she uses her sex with the mayor to get a sweet deal heading the convention center's eventual construction, she didn't have anything to do with the explosion that took out A Block. The mayor (partly to cover his own ass) claims "she's the only innocent one in this whole deal."]]
