This storyline is about Officer Johnny Dane, partner and good friend of Officer Terry Webster. While responding to a robbery call to a gun store with Officers Webster, Danko and Owens, Johnny gets shot in both legs by one of several thugs. Ultimately, the doctors cannot save his right leg and he falls into a deep depression. Terry is deeply upset about his friend's condition and even lashes out at Jill when she tries to comfort him. There was a very riveting scene in his hospital room when Terry comes to visit him. Johnny is very depressed and Terry is openly crying for him, and trying to get him to come to terms with his new disability, but fails to do so. I especially liked the part where Terry is walking outside, showing Patrick, Johnny's son, how to skip rocks in a pond, and using this time to try to prepare Patrick about his dad's disability and new way of living his life. That scene just brought tears to my eyes, it was so emotional.
Of course, the thugs were eventually caught, and Johnny Dane came to terms and accepted the loss of his leg; this storyline was well-written, with superb acting. Georg Stanford Brown never disappoints and his acting skills really added to the storyline, as always. This man is an excellent actor in any capacity, but when "Terry" shows his raw emotions, and is not afraid to cry or show his softer side, it make the storyline all the more realistic. The other actors deserve kudos as well, in that this is a story that is very believable, made even more so by the superb acting. It's not to be missed!
