In this episode, Seth's old army buddy, Ben (Gerald S. O'Loughlin) arrives in town. Despite being great friends during the war, they haven't seen each other in almost five decades. Time has passed and Ben seems a bit 'off'. You learn that much of this is because following his being injured and captured during WWII, his mind was never quite the same and he's spent his post-war years wandering aimlessly....avoiding establishing relationships.

Because he is Seth's friend and also saved Seth's life long ago, the Doctor feels an obligation to help Ben out and so he gets him a job. He does great...but when the boss is found dead, some of the clues lead to Ben. And, when $10,000 is found in Ben's hotel room, things look really bad for him. Can Jessica shed light on what REALLY happened?

This is a very good episode without any serious plot holes or problems. The only part I didn't understand was the ending at the bus station...as it seemed confusing why it would end this way. Still, it's well worth your time.
