This is the episode where David wrecks his office because he is so completely losing his grip now he knows about Sam's proposal to Maddie.
That must have made an unholy racket. I can't picture this happening without a lot of screaming, smashing noises, that kind of thing. And it must have taken him at least a few minutes to get through with it.
I can understand people not wanting to step into the middle of that and physically have to stop him! But surely someone in the outer office must have heard him. I know he'd wrapped it up by the evening, because that's when he runs down to catch them in the car; but my point is that at least for some time when he was still upstairs, doing damage, there must have been at least a few more people still around in the outside office, hearing this, and probably wondering, "Ooh man, this is really bad now." And they didn't do anything about it?
No one went over to even knock on the door and say, "What's going on, are you all right?" That seems a little unusual. Agnes could have just picked up the phone and paged him. I don't know that it would have helped, but maybe even a tiny distraction could have taken the steam out of the worst of it. Indeed, Agnes and Bert are the ones who finally go in to talk to him and tell him he'd better rush down to meet the car. But that's after the tornado is over.
Come to think of it, I don't think Agnes and Bert even comment on what they heard or didn't hear, if anything, until they open the door and go into David's office.
The other possibility is that no one actually heard or saw anything unusual, and the first they found out about any of it was when A & B finally walked in. To me, that sounds the least likely.
Thanks. ;D
