Yea, I think the show is getting as much mileage out of this as they can before wrapping it up. Which I don't mind, I thought the Renard scenes were the most interesting/entertaining.

At this time would Meisner give him a up front answer. If Meisner is trying to make a point he isn't going to make it until Renard is ready for the point.
