  • Carter and Benton dealing with guilt.

    By Parricida, Sep 10, 2007 Report Abuse
    The main focus of this episode is on Carter's strugle of facing Gant's death. They were roommates and in some state even friends but he left him down as he was so busy with Keaton and his own things that he did not cared about the sings even if he saw them. He was so sure that it was not so bad.

    Benton is not first thinking like he has anything to do with it. In the first, Carter is trying to make everyone to see that it was accident, starting more and more believe that it was not. It all just is too much and on operation with Benton he says everything out.

    And in the end, even Benton starts to feel guilty and as Carter says: you just have to face the fact that he is dead.

    In so many ways, I most say, this storyline, seeing it now after the end, with Gant, is one of the best - really cleverly plot, from episode to episode, leaving to ending.. emotion, moving and catching.moreless
