"Time's Fool"
Thematic underpinnings to the plot

The mutable forms of identity. How choosing to act like a certain type of person - for example, an honest person - can lead to becoming that kind of person. How trying to be many identities all at once is destructive in relationships. Yet everyone does it. Every single character in San Francisco, with the possible exception of Frank Marion, and unlike the characters in Washington DC, is first perceived as one type of person by Gib, yet each person is also shown in other lights, pretending to be different. Sometimes as a lark, sometime for office politics, sometimes as Gib gets to know them better. Sometimes for fanatical purpose.

Gib developing stable, less assholish, identity is the thematic underpinning of the plot.
