This was definitely a different Alex than the one she said goodbye to before summer. Obviously there was the same overall attitude that defined him, but the things he was saying were things that honestly were impressing Fred a great deal. "Pretty sure no matter what you're doing, you won't be doing anything worse than most of the stars out there right now, especially since it sounds like you're standing up for something," she told him.
She then continued on, her summer of investigating becoming apparent as she sought the information he was leaving out. "What are you testifying about?" she asked. Because of who she was speaking to she would obviously back off if he didn't want to talk about it. The people in Vegas could testify to that being a great deal of restraint on her part.
