    The whole case of the missing girl and all wasnt bad but I didnt like the investigation. Sam got like two scenes ( I counted) and thats unacceptable while Vivian had many many scenes and a hair styling that was - to be nice- experimental.
    By the way, Sam listened to that woman talking about her daughter attacking her abusive fathter to save her mom.
    I would have expected to see Sam identify with that situation more as things were somewhat similiar with her sister and her attacker, well whatever.

    Other than that I liked the whole Elena thing and Jack in court is always interesting even though scary because I always fear he might go down, but hey its Jack...

    I didnt really get the ending. I thought the guy who kidnapped the girl got killed or something??moreless

  • Great show again with an ending twist

    9.2
    "Superb"
    By JPPT1974, May 13, 2007 Report Abuse
    A great show that has a twist in the end as the team investigates the disappearance of a young teenage girl who is in a cult. While Elena fights with her ex on custody yet again over their daughter. Her husband is an absolute creep while Jack warns him to stay away from her. The ending was really a shocker that will lead to the fall premiere in September.
