Coincidentally, I just finished re-watching "Forks," the episode in the 2nd season that highlights Richie. I really liked this episode when I first saw it, and upon re-watching it tonight, it was so satisfying to watch the changes that occurred in him as he begins to recognize a "place" for himself in the rarefied environment of a top-notch restaurant where providing exceptional service IS the purpose. There were serotonin buzzes firing off all over the place by the end of the episode in Richie's character (and also in myself). Thanks for your post!
