I have mixed feelings about the side-by-side stories running through this season. One thing I'm sure of is that the way they were split in this episode was distracting. The story line of the Sandbrook case has been boring up until the end of this episode. Ironically, at the beginning of the season, I thought it was a mistake to continue with the trial of last season's murder. I just wanted a totally new case. Now I'm hooked and it's mostly due to Marianne Jean-Baptiste. I've loved her in Cold Case and how much I loathe her character in this show is a testimony to her superb acting ability. There are so many excellent individual performances in this one that even as a sometimes boring episode, it deserves at least an 8/10.
