I so loved it. Definitly one I'll watch over & over again....& there hasn't been one of those in a very long time.
Jason was easy for me to feel sympathetic towards. I really felt bad for him through the entire episode. Natalia being there for him at the end was quite perfect. I adore any person who can admit they were wrong, & Natalia made sure he & everyone else knew she'd made a mistake by not trusting him. She's just awesome.
So, Nick tried to play the dream defence when he attacked Natalia. Interesting - I wasn't expecting that one at all. Understandable now that Natalia had such a hard time believing Jason. I really wish we'd seen more on her past with Nick, but I'm pretty satisfied with what we got.....for now
The scene with Ryan & Elena was downright hilarious! I loved Walter pointing out the oil on his forehead later. :guffaw:
The ending was so touching. Between Ryan & Natalia's friendship being showcased, to Horatio & Ryan agreeing to never let anyone ("especially Natalia") know that she fired her gun......so sweet. I loved watching them sneak her gun back into her locker. They're like her "big brothers" & I'm really becoming so fond of their relationships.
Egg cracked open was nasty. :wtf:
I don't think I even need to go on about Eva's performance....everyone knows what I think of her. All I can say is that I was not disappointed at all -- she's simply fabulous & shows every emotion & expression so well.
My heart broke a little as soon as Natalia saw "Nick" at the lab & said his name ...felt so bad for her. And Horatio grabbing her face like that? The poor thing probably thought "Nick" was going to break her neck!
Tom was fantastic as always -- his "oh!oh" over the numbness in the hands had me giggling.
What else can I say.....just overall wonderful. My only disappointment was that the drug effects didn't last longer with Natalia. She snapped out of it a little too fast for me, but the scene at the hospital where she was kinda flipping out on Eric was good. On that note, I agree with CSIMandy.....it was a really nice change seeing Eric be
calm! while Natalia freaks.
I can't forget the fade-to-black ending with all the change flying out of the machine at Ryan. Too funny.
A+++++++ :thumbsup:
