Agreed that Franco was super-dreepy; I think it was supposed to recall his creepy performance with Heidi in the lingerie episode.
What Tim really thinks of Franco. It's the last answer.
Cordelia: You're him. You're Angel's son. Connor: It's not like I got to choose.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Happy Birthday, Lysana!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Happy Birthday, Lysana!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good luck, Kalshane.
Ugh, ita -- job tension is seriously the last thing you need.
I am semi-prepared for the informational-interview-by-phone I'm about to have. I hate phone interviews!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'd totally do your interview, Jesse. I oddly like them.
Why would this guy want his job back? I mean, aside from the difficulty he's going to have getting employ anywhere else. Talk about a hostile work environment.

More to the point, why would the faculty association, whose members he trashed, want to help him keep it?

So, that was slightly weird. I don't know how to do informational interviews, I think. Anyway, I made the contact, so that can't hurt.

Academia is a funny place. I wonder if the faculty association is/was trying to keep him in that job in order to discourage termination for cause, which would erode rights of tenure? It can be a slippery slope (from their point of view) t /simplistic
Note: I am not a member of the professorate, I merely study it in school.
