It was interesting to see more in-depth surrounding personal lives instead of the routine episodes.

There was a lot of hype based around Benjamin Bratt’s appearance during this episode however we learned more about Rey Curtis than a cameo appearance could tell. We discover that he has become a single father raising three daughters since their mother died of MS. Lt Van Buren, who had not been present the past two seasons, returns in this episode with a storyline surrounding her cancer and how it is affecting her.

It was equally entertaining to watch as she fought back against Cutter and McCoy. We are also treated to McCoy apologizing to her at the end. Among the many characters, we see that she confides in Jack whom appears to be more understanding due to her cancer. We see him abiding time to talk with her since he attempts to be nicer to her even though she tries to keep the disease undercover.
