Episode 110
Fall From Grace (03-28-07)
The
Case: Not sure about the actual case, but I love the
reactions that were caused from the ripple effect of the
murdered pregnant woman. And not to be technical…but
could you see the sister honestly cutting her sister
open (without hurting the baby) and removing the baby,
and knowing what to do? And doing this without passing
out? Then there’s the husband giving her up—weak
personality trait. Obviously the wife ruled the roost.
However it wasn’t quite believable that he’d give her up
so easily. I think he needed to be portrayed even
‘weaker’ (in character) when we first met him, so we’d
believe he’d break under Jordan and Woody’s pressure.
Hate
the sin, Love the Sinner. How many knew it was the
sister when she uttered those words? I did. After
completely missing last week’s killer…
Woody’s harsh comments to Jordan when he called her to
come to the car— “I think he was a little angry.” That
was posted on the CR in respond to Woody’s phone call to
Jordan. A little angry? You think? :) I’d go with
completely pissed off. I liked that moment though.
Jordan hasn’t let him in on her illness, and so Woody
assumes it’s an amateur mistake—that opens a can of
worms he doesn’t even want to begin to deal with.
This
is three episodes in a row that Woody has asked if
Jordan was okay. This is…good, but not great.
Obviously the two still aren’t back on the same wave
length. Woody can recognize something is off, but he’s
not sure what or how serious. I think a past Woody
would have demanded to know what was wrong until Jordan
told him. He’s watching where he steps right now—still
too afraid to over step any boundaries.
(TOTALLY RANDOM THOUGHT: Whatever the last season of CJ
is, if the bring Woody and Jordan together, could they
bring back the ring from season 4. Wouldn’t it be
symbolic if Woody had held on to it all this time, and
not have returned it… Okay, random thought over.)
Jordan’s running out of choices. Garret is no longer
covering for her. Nigel and Bug are bound to put two
and two together and come up with four instead of five
this time. And I think Woody’s through asking what’s
wrong and is going to start demanding to know what’s
wrong.
"My
Life. My brain. My decision." I’ve got news for you
Jordan—it doesn’t work that way, not when you’ve got
family looking out for you, and dear you might have a
small family, but each and every one of them loves you.
Nigel. That says it all. I absolutely adore his
character. He brings humor to a situation that’s not
funny at all, and he does it in such a sincere way.
Love him. I think Garret needs that hug Nigel was going
to give him.
Garret and the juvenile delinquents were a wonderful B
story. It wasn’t a murder case and it wasn’t about a
dead body. It was about keeping these young kids from
ending up in the morgue. Its focus was on life (saving
life) and not about the dead/dying. It’s a nice
positive spin. I was so happy when Garret took over for
Bug, though it would have been interesting to see Kate
deal with the kids. The teen that played the boy who
clashed with Garret gets a thumbs up from me. I felt he
sold the part and made me believe.
What
Made Me Laugh:
-
I
found this too amusing…the church sign, where the
message was posted “Hate the sin, Love the Sinner”, did
anyone notice the times services were being held? 6am,
Noon and 6pm on Sundays. I’d love to know who made up
the sign :) I bet they don’t go to church that often.
Maybe an 8am and 10am time would have been more
believable. The sign just made me chuckle.
-
Blonde hair boy passing out when Garret cut into the
body.
-
Garret’s name being misspelled (on the email to him from
Dr. Sanchez). I thought the first time I saw the
episode I just didn’t see it right, cause it was rather
quick, then upon re-watching I found I had been right
the first time.
Oh
and one last comment. Now I’m not the die hard shipper
that some are but the end scene with Jordan holding the
baby and Woody standing right behind her. What an
adorable family photo… (now I’ll just let your
imagination run wild and take that where ever it may
lead :)).
I liked this episode, just not as much as
last weeks. I debated about give this 3 1/2 but
even if it wasn't as good as last weeks it was so much
better than the first half of the season that it
deserved a 4.
So I give it 4 out
of 5 dead bodies.
