This was a great episode! The ending was good, yet sad. I am so happy it turned out the way it did with Nick Stokes.

Poor nick, didn't know if the pimp was telling the truth ........ that would hurt nick to know that she used him.
The explosion story was sad & touching. The security guard was both brave & stupid makes me sad at the ending.

Great episode. Love the whole case where Nick's involved, and the bomb case is good too. The bomb at the end is really cool too.

Good episode, duel sad endings. However I feel worse for Nick. The security guard was only part hero since the bomb wouldn't have gone of early if he had been alittle smarter.

I totally loved this episode. Hate when everyone criticizes the characters for having lives outside of work and not being perfect though...so he fell for the hooker...big deal! It was passionate. And loved that Cath had to save his job. Very hot! Poo
