    Paralyzing fear

    Lesley Sharp is such a great actress that I like her and just about everything. In this episode of moving on, she plays a woman who is confronted with a traumatic situation and the after effects of that trauma. At the beginning of the episode, the writers doing nice job of giving us a little bit of backstory but not too much and presenting a character who is very comfortable and confident in her surroundings. This is important to the story because later she loses that confidence and her surroundings betray her. It's not an action-packed episode or fast moving, but I think it accurately portrays how an individual can experience a trauma and not be able to express that to anyone.

    Lack of plot points

    It didn't seem like much time was spent developing the script on this one. No character development, 15 minute story stretched to half an hour through repetition of conversations.
