In the TVC, I was doing all the operations in cellForRowAtIndexPath.
That includes referencing all the UILabel IBOutlets from the TableViewCell subclass and assigning their values.
The debugger (po) is very uncooperative with getting properties out of the cell.myUILabelVariable while in cellForRowAtIndexPath so I was taking the path of least resistance.
