Honestly I can't. This show is just one great episode after another. Even the more procedural episodes are thoroughly entertaining and engaging.
I was very worried that Carter's absence would hinder my enjoyment (as she was my favorite character) but based on this episode, I think I might be okay. In fact, this is one of the top 3 episodes of the series to date. The actor who plays Fusco has just been blowing me away with the emotion - and still the bits of typical Fusco-humor. I have been thinking for awhile now that Fusco should be the one to kill Simmons (not John). And I thought that is what was going to happen and then his words and actions at the end made me cry. He totally honored Carter by the way he handled it. additionally, I so so loved the ending to this episode. So many fascinating characters connected in different ways. The writing for this show is fabulous.
