Brief Synopsis: Jordan's encounter with an intruder
at her apartment, which she believes is connected somehow to her mother's
murder, causes her to break down and seek the help of Dr. Howard Stiles.
A strong episode in which Jordan got to shine. She finally
opens up and expresses her fear that she’ll become her mother. She also
realizes that she’s her own person. I think this was a pivotal episode for
her.
Jordan: What an eye opening episode about Jordan.
Who’d have thought we’d ever see her vulnerable. It’s not often we get to see
Jordan express her fears.
I think we finally got some closure on Jordan’s mother in
respect that Jordan finally realize she’s not her mother. We know Jordan fears
she will become/turn out like her mother (her mother was mentally sick). This
episode finally proved to Jordan that she’s not her mother’s daughter. She is
her own person, living her own healthy life. She has her own future which is up
to her to write.
Jordan’s typical obsessive-ness became more like paranoia
in this case. Her issues with her mother blocked her from seeing any sort of
reality. She was afraid to go back to her own apartment and was constantly
blaming the attack on herself. She was convinced she’d done something wrong and
it was her fault she was attacked.
Jordan had a break down (you new it was coming...sooner or later), but she was able to pick herself back up and move on
with her life.
1- She never reacted when Garret kicked her off the case.
2- She
had a major outburst at Lily. Those are not typical Jordan traits.
There were many other things through out the episode that caught your attention
and just added all the more to this great story. This was one of Jordan's
better episodes--a growth episode.
Her
co-workers realized something wasn’t right and were looking out for her (despite
her initial anger over that fact) It’s as Garret said, they’re her family too
and they’re here for her. I think she finally realized the truth of that
statement.
Garret: It’s not often he shows ‘passion’ on a
case, or gets too ‘emotionally’ involved, but he does on this case. Garret’s
belief that the husband is innocent has him going the extra mile trying to find
the truth. He’s not thrilled with the truth he finds, but he proves that his
gut feeling was right years ago.
4 out of 5 Dead Bodies. It was nice to see Jordan
finally come to terms about her mother and about herself.
