Maybe I'm nit-picking -- but do individuals own casinos in Maryland?  Where I come from casinos are owned by big multimillion dollar corporations.  And of course in some places they are owned by Native American tribes.  But I've never heard of a casino being owned by an individual.  They could just as easily have made this guy a loan-shark, since that's essentially what he's doing.  There is no need for him to actually own the casino -- at least not yet.  

And please don't use they "it's just a soap" response.  That is insulting to the entire genre.  A soap opera is not "just" a soap.

Update: I forgot that Derek probably works for DC Fire and not Prince George's County Fire.

I had it wrong. It should be 24/72, not 24/48.  My bad.

DC firefighters work 24 hours and then have 72 hours off.
DC Fire has four platoons of firefighters that rotate through those shifts.

with the hours outlined here:
