Review:

I really like today’s episode.  it gives us a chance to see a different side of Epstein.  Sure he’s still lovable and nerdy in his own way, but he’s now lying to Sue. I love seeing Detective Nash!  She does a great job at doing her job while doing what’s right at the same time. Also, Peck and Diaz definitely have the set-up of getting back together. Although Peck doesn’t see it yet, Diaz certainly does! Looking forward to more Williams-behind-the-desk action…and to see how well she copes for the rest of her pregnancy. Next week with McNally’s mom looks intense!
