The Road Home

This was a great episode. My twins played Andy - which you don't see much of except for one scene. But by far this was one of the better story lines for Without A Trace. Good Work to the production team on this one. I have been watching since they filmed this episode and wasn't to impressed by the story lines I had seen. But The Road Home definitely had meaning and lesson behind it. I hope the rest of the season continues to be this great. I know a lot of my family and friends watch the show but I have never really been able to get into it until now, I will continue to watch unless there are more episodes like Check Your Head which I felt was poor and was a bit taken by the ending scene of the two women kissing. I think it was the next week that Without A Trace was on the news for another episode that was of poor judgment in some opinions. But like I said, this episode, The Road Home was really good.
