I believe the person that might end up learning and benefiting the most from this whole debacle from NBC might be Fallon or whoever NBC sets as the #2 guy.
Once Leno decides to retire again, whoever is the #2 person probably wants to ironclad the Tonight Show contract to prevent Leno or NBC from going back on their promise/deal. Although if Leno was able to go back a 3rd time, it might end up killing the Tonight Show in the long term since nobody will want to work NBC if they are not guaranteed to develop their time on the Tonight Show.
