Maybe most of all, this episode had many conclusions, endings - first the elder lady assault case found its end as they caught the bad guy - he was just a kid. Maybe we will find out why he did what he did but... at least it is over.. and I do not imagine about the reaction most of the staff there had if they heard they have to treat him. It build a perfect ground for very moving and deep dilemma what Carter has to work out. He is human after all... and I do understand Anna too and that he later admitted that what he did - it was just what she wanted - to make him understand what he did.. not because maybe she taught the same.. but because he had to understand that himself and not lie to himself.
Another conclusion was in Benton and Carla's relationship. That had not had so much attention lately and I thought they are ok but it seems nothing will come out of that and she has moved on. Maybe it is better as I have never enjoyed that storyline and when they drop it - maybe it is better.
It seemed almost that Carol's and Doug's relationship has found it's end too but Doug has some sense to try to work it out. I am so sad about it as I do enjoyed it.. And I hope they manage to find peace...
Also Mark's things are not going to best... i was quite sure about it.. as they are just so different.. looking different things.. but I am sorry about her.. I am sure we will find out how the outcome of this will be...moreless

Notes
ADD NOTES- Though spelled correctly when he is listed as the series creator in the opening credits, Michael Crichton's last name is incorrectly spelled "Chrichton" when he is listed with the other executive producers in the end credits of this episode. This mistake was repeated in most of the Season 4 episodes and in all of the Season 6 episodes. Edit
- Music: Smash Mouth, "Walkin' on the Sun" Edit

Quotes
ADD QUOTES- Doug: (to Carol) I didn't mean to push. Take as much time as you need. I'll wait. Edit
- Benton: You feel like hitting darts? Corday: Just darts? Benton: Yeah. Just darts. I mean, if that's okay. Corday: Don't know what you're missing. Benton: I've got a pretty good idea. Corday: Well, as long as I'm not being unappreciated. Edit
- Corday: I've had a thought. I have no family here. No ties. No time. You have the baby, but not much else. And with our schedules, it makes it almost impossible to date or even really meet someone, much less anything approaching a real relationship. So, um... I was thinking. We're both adults, attractive... we, we enjoy each other. Why not? (Benton looks up from his files) I won't disappoint. (Benton laughs) I've made you blush. Benton: I... I don't think I'd be comfortable with that. Corday: That's a pity. Edit

Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS- Title: "Carter's Choice" The title of this episode is a reference to the 1979 novel Sophie's Choice, written by William Styron, in which the title character must make a forced and difficult decision in which any and all options have equally negative outcomes. In 1982, the film same name, staring Meryl Streep and Kevin Kline, was released to critical acclaim. Edit
