Ben Oliver: [explaining his stay in the VA hospital and his later nomadic behavior] Okay, then, I'll give it to you in one quick swallow. You see, Corporal, when a mortar round hits close enough, it not only explodes, it implodes at the very same time. This causes a vacuum, a force that sucks part of your being right out through the top of your skull. For lack of a better word, let's call it your soul. And what most people don't know is, souls are a hell of a lot more fragile than human flesh. Sometimes they just never seem to heal

Because he is Seth's friend and also saved Seth's life long ago, the Doctor feels an obligation to help Ben out and so he gets him a job. He does great...but when the boss is found dead, some of the clues lead to Ben. And, when $10,000 is found in Ben's hotel room, things look really bad for him. Can Jessica shed light on what REALLY happened?
This is a very good episode without any serious plot holes or problems. The only part I didn't understand was the ending at the bus station...as it seemed confusing why it would end this way. Still, it's well worth your time.
