A very riviting and entertaining way to get the fourth season of Numb3rs started. It's good to see Peter McNicol back on the show and it's also good to not see Kathy Najimy. With all due respect to the actress, her character is a liability to the show everyone is better off without her. What also helps this episode is Val Kilmer's brief but very well acted guest appearance on the show. Kilmer's always been an actor who never quite had his due over the course of his career and I'm glad he has a chance to show his talent.moreless

It was awesome episode ever I watched. I heard it was expensive episode! Anyway, Charlie already starting to developing more of his character. He got new style of his hair. It is different than third season. I am not used to Charlie's new vision. Don think Colby is traitor and spy and now Don refused to trust anyone right now. Don won't get over of it for five weeks!! Colby was encouraged to escaped from prison along with Dwayne. Colby is pretty smart enough to call Charlie instead of Don, cuz FBI can't trace his cell that quickly. Charlie acted so shocked that he call him and ending of this episode, Colby is hero! Great Episode!moreless

I thought this one was even better the the Janus List. It kept me on the edge of my seat. I thought it was crazy what happen with Colby. I couldnt handle it through most of the episode. I had to keep pausing it to settle myself down. It was far and beyond better than Janus list.

now i need to waste words i i i i i i ii i i i i i i i i i i i i ii i i i i i i ii i i i ii i i i haha that makes 101moreless

This episode shows to what extend Colby Granger is willing to go to do his duty. Serve and Protect is what he vowed to do. Even when he knows that his cover is down he still manage to be sarcastic. It's visible that he's afraid when Lancer began to explain what is going to happen to him, but he keep a tight lead on it. This episode shows us the soldier that he's been, the man willing to lose his life even if it's during his duty. The fact that when he couldn't get in touch with Kirkland he called Don is a proof that he trusts Don and his team very much.

All in all, this episode was nerve-wracking, and full of suspens and it's one of my favourite in this shows.moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- When Don and David enter the room with the unconscious Colby, David takes the syringe out of Colby's body and tells Don the syringe is full of potassium chloride. In the scene before, Mason Lancer drew the potassium out of a vial into the syringe while standing near the table. David couldn't have known what was in the syringe, as Mason had several chemical solutions in vials on the table and David only looked at the syringe, even before he had the chance to glance at the table.
  Edit
- When Lancer is preparing Colby's third injection, he's not wearing rubber gloves, but the close-up shows hands with gloves. Edit
- When Don is explaining the math to Charlie, Larry and Amita, he points with his right hand to the wall. In the very next shot, he is pointing with his left hand. Edit
