Unsatisfactory and inconclusive

our female pathologist persists in her dorky behavior almost to the end. a gratuitous torture sequence involves a man torturing a woman to find out where someone used to be who all know is no longer there. in the end, the same man, or maybe it was a totally different person, doesn't shoot the man they were looking for but shoots a second man. meanwhile in a totally unrelated sequence, the brilliant professor testifies against all common sense against a man who acting under instructions from the litigous parents of the deceased has taken brain samples to find out why the man died. Mind you with so much confusion throughout the fragmented, I may have jumped to all the wrong conclusions.

At the end, we learn that the two younger pathologists may well be getting together--again--going to America and leaving the show! Hooray. What a worthless script. worst of the series.moreless

I found myself admiring the writing in this episode. The storyline of Leo appearing at a hearing where his friend is accused of keeping samples without consent from the family seemed completely unconnected, until suddenly all plots came into line, with the question being asked on all levels: "Does the end justify the means?" To what extent are you justified in taking measures that break the law if you feel the end is worth it? Is taking samples without consent justified? Is resorting to violence against animal experimentation justified? Is torturing and killing people justified if the end result is good enough?

As all our characters face the same dilemma in many different ways, the only possible answer is given, in a tightly written, well acted episode.
