I assumed that Delahanty had met Cohen from at least before he left for Montreal and the force.
Sholio -- it felt like the episode would have benefited from having the emotional plot drawn out over several episodes . . .
90s TV hadn’t come to the idea of a story arc just yet. It would have been great to have several different arcs proceeding at different rates. But in the 90s, most of the story lines had to be completed within the hour (45 min) time frame.
BrightKnightie -- For all the "neck of the week" action and "damsel in distress" detours, FK's simple respect for its women characters
One of the things I liked very much about the third season is that for all the dissatisfaction with Tracy, she was not a dumb blonde, she was a capable and competent detective.
pj1228 -- Is it really possible to quit a job from one day to another
This happens in TV time, not real world time. :-)
greerwatson -- there's no foreshadowing in previous episodes.
The disadvantages of not having a “book”.
greerwatson -- of Schanke, is the way that he totally fails to recognize Delehanty's slick sleaziness
Or the way he steadfastly (except for one episode) fails to note anything about Nick that could be vampire related.
All things considered, I'm glad you prompted the discussion of this episode. It was a real pleasure to watch it again.
