In the opening scene Crockett gets shot in the chest. The rest of the episode cuts between his stay in the hospital and flashbacks from previous episodes. To make sure they've got enough filler, every MV regular gets marched into Crockett's hospital room to have his or her own little flashback. All in all, you only get about half of an actual episode, the other half comprised of filler you've seen before. I really hate it when TV shows pull off one of these sorry excuses for getting something on air vs. taking a vacation.
Today, the suspense is muted by us knowing he'll survive since there's yet another season to follow. Maybe back in 1988 people were a little more concerned, especially due to sagging ratings. As it is, I rate this episode a 5 because the tank is half full in more ways than one.
