    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Two of Vincent's OCD behaviors are shared with As Good as It Gets (1997)'s character, Melvin Udall: his inability to step on cracks in the sidewalk and his opening a new bar of soap, washing his hands, then immediately throwing that bar of soap in the trash.
    • Goofs
      At the beginning, a very tall palm tree can be seen reflected in the window of the vehicle driven by Vincent (Alex O'Loughlin). The case is set in Buffalo, New York, where the freezing winters would make it impossible to grow a palm tree, let alone one of that height.

    very moving episode.
    So cinematic, so perfect. the child actor was a phenomenal in his role. Vincent, too, did a wonderful job of bringing out his character's sad background story.
