(Please, believe me, this is just a fleeting thought a momentary lapse into sado-masochism or because its in the DNA inherited from my distant maternal grandmother, Margaret Scott, hung as a witch in Salem in 1692) I observe the railing behind our Christian brothers, John Ensign & Doug Hampton, & imagine three Behinds impaled, if only for a moment on those spiked shafts.

His arms behind his back, leaving his belly/nethers exposed. Ensign's suit coat looks protective. Hammond's expression is open, and smiling while Ensign's is more posed. Knowing the backstore as we do now, we assume that this was taken before Hammond was aware of what was going on. The ambulance in the background takes on a little more meaning now that we know there's a trainwreck coming for these two. Interesting how vulnerable Hammond looks compared to Ensign.
