I was surprised went for ALL the black orchids--and at the end Hewitt is happy he got to play 'actor' on the roof! And then he and Wolfe are friends--it's too bad we don't get to see them turn from adversaries/orchid competitors/'Wolfe just blackmailed me for these rare ones' into friends.
I find Wolfe's choice of trying to coerce criminals to commit suicide to be really interesting and odd. I wonder if it in part is temporal and part from his life in WWI? I am also surprised Archie doesn't seem to really have a strong view either way as to its morality but since he chooses to be swept along in the genius' wake I guess he really does agree (without feeling comfortable enough to say he does etc.)
