A believable story well told and solidly acted about an ATF agent pursuing an armament dealer when he is gunned down, left while his self-medicated partner lie sleeping in their vehicle. The agent awakens from a coma years later to WITSEC marshal Shannon explaining his status with the looming trial forthcoming where his testimony incarcerates the murderous arms dealer. The agent agrees to the commitment but wants to see his girlfriend; he travels to see her ahead of the trial against wishes from the prosecuting attorney. His encounter with the girlfriend proves heartbreaking and thought provoking when he discovers his former partner and the girlfriend are married with their two-year-old son.
The trial brings out the best character trait of the wounded agent when he praises his old partner while denouncing in no uncertain terms the ruthless criminal. He explains to the former partner and the ex-girlfriend he said the words of praise in support of the child, not either of the adults.
Mary Shannon faces a different dilemma at home when Raf breaks off their engagement citing their union is not meant to be, they will not be able to make it work. Mary's Mom hugs her at work while she cries over the split.
Courage to the ATF agent able to see beyond any selfishness and lift his head high moving on with his life after the discovery of how life changes over time. Sadness befalls our lead character Mary when Raf delivers his decision. The episode is certainly one of the best in the series conveying a powerful message how events change our world.
