Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

The gentleman are back with a plan. They bring in Alexander and explain they found checks and with the intention to ruin his position even more. He explains that he did nothing illegal and tells the boys what he "knows" about what happened with Maria Reynolds. The gentleman realize all is justified and promise to not say anything. On the way out Burr warns Alexander about what happens when word spreads.
This is the first time that Alexander has really mentioned his affair out loud and although he is ashamed of his actions, but he is at least staying truthful to what he did. So if anything he will be an honest man. Hamilton deals with a multitude of internal struggles, but he often selects the option that will make him an honest man. This quality can be fascinating to watch because it is entertaining to watch other people trying to keep their life together. The audience starts to grow a love/hate relationship with Alexander.
