Without A Trace is no accident

You know a show is great when Jack Malone becomes emotional. His response in this episode to the guard\'s denial of any involvement with the prostitue ring was brilliant. I love it when you cannot tell that someone is acting, it was that good. I found in this episode that the flashback scenes were lengthy, and although this can detract from the performances of the main cast, the flashbacks were so well done, and quite emotional themselves that it didn\'t matter. There is a reason why CBS put this on prime time Sunday night, this was this season's, and perhaps this show's best episode.moreless

A troubled teen is not what she seems.

8.0

By Latoyab, Oct 14, 2010

On other boards people weren't too fond of this epi, but I liked it. I thought it had a nice twist that the so-called "perfect" sister was actually the real criminal and the "bad" sister who took the blame for the car accident only did so because she didn't want the "perfect" sister to ruin her life. Seeing all of the abuse the "bad" sister took that she didn't deserve was heart wrenching. The storyline reminded me vaguely of that movie Brokedown Palace, how Claire Danes character admitted to the charges so that her friend could get out of prison and get back to the states. Martin looked like he really took the "perfect" sister's drug use/destruction to heart.moreless

Real moral muscle; but pulls up short.

9.5

By a_spod, Oct 14, 2010

It may sound hackneyed – one sister taking the rap for her

elder sibling's crime – but Katie Walder and Hallee Hirsch make Clare and Malia so convincing that you'll never suspect Malia isn't the guilty sister. Even Jack admits "I didn't see that coming."

It's a twist that gives the episode moral depth, with Clare's proxy, the ill-disciplined Malia, finding redemption through her vicarious punishment, even as guilt-stricken Clare succumbs to despair and drug addiction. That it's Clare's boyfriend—rather than Clare—who betrays Malia, and that Malia is found alive not dead (or brain damaged), is where the episode pulls its punches. But those quibbles aside it's a competent dissection of sacrifice, redemption and the burden of guilt.moreless
