I gave the earlier review from evenhoused a "helpful" tick, but I think it deserves more than that. I think that evenhoused is exactly on the money. The script covers all that makes this such a successful series. The investigative segment of the story sort of takes a back seat here, but is still interesting, and although I had my suspicions from early on, the identity of the villain wasn't clear until near the end. Apart from the investigations, we had humour in the marathon training thread, and character development in the opening-up of Torres' backstory. However, the triumphant element here for me was the pathos of the main storyline, and the astonishingly sensitive performance of Katherine Cunningham. I lost a loved member of my family in a similar scenario. She was as brave as Lt Ellison is portrayed here. I wish hope and strength to all those in the same situation. Keep fighting. Semper pugnate!

Outstanding acting by Katherine Cunningham
evenhoused11 September 2018
This was a good episode, which is typical and is why this is such a long lasting series. I think they did a good job in furthering viewers understanding of Torres. What really caught my attention was the outstanding performance by Katherine Cunningham. Many actors do a fine job, but Katherine Cunningham just nailed her role playing Laura Ellison! I just had to publicly say this.
