oh and does anyone else agree with me that Frank set up Russo's relapse by planting the girl at the party to take him home and convince him to have a drink

Of course. Did you miss that whole conversation between him and Doug about setting the whole thing up in the office? Doug says there will be no coming back from this. Frank says he knows, but tells Doug to keep an eye on Russo (to make sure he gets back on his feet, but we all know how that ended, which tells me Russo forced Frank's hand with his whole "I want to come clean" saga). Doug then asks for $3000 to set up the hooker/waitress at the party that Peter goes to the night before the interview. Frank then says it will be in his drawer the next morning.
