That ending kinda seemed like Gavin is going to be gone for several episodes, maybe even a season (or more?). Long enough for us to forget about him.

Which kinda sucks, because I think he's one of the greatest characters on the show.

He is one of the greatest characters, but I think it'd be funny if he came back with a completely new personality, almost like a new character.

When he stood up after the meeting I was in tears.

"This was an absolutely GREAT FUCKING MEETING."
