I must admit that this is currently the worst Due South episode I ever watched.
The casefile was painful to watch - I didn't feel for any of the characters, so I didn't really care if they won or lost. Only when Ray entered the team, my interest spiked for a minute - but then I already knew that he wouldn't fail, when everything depended on him.
I found Fraser to be particularly bland in this episode - I'm not sure why, but this time his lines weren't up to the usual standard.
It was a bit disappointing, I must admit, but then every show has those episodes that you watch once and then never watch again. Or that you fast-forward through save for the "important" scenes. Callum Keith Rennie getting naked would be such a scene.moreless

Ray Kowalski: Oh, you gotta love this wolf. Okay, check out the stance. -
Benton Fraser: (teaching Ray how to hit the ball) Alright, now. Just keep your eye on the ball. Keep the ball in front of you, keep your glove in front of the ball. You relax. You let muscle-memory take over, and above all you must try not to think.
Ray Kowalski: Yeah, not thinking, that's what got me into this.
