Just wanted to touch on the spoiler information issue as the last report for 10x04 was bordering on giving too much away, so let's make sure the following guideline is kept in mind for the future:
Don't reveal the killer/ending. You'll find this request the same all over the board. Please try to use good judgement when posting information. Yes, it's the spoiler thread, but it's generally expected that we receive the basics and some interesting tidbits--not the entire episode. The latter goes beyond what this thread was intended for and I ask that this request be respected by those who happen upon the information. Additionally, I thank those who have been following this directive over the years. We appreciate the work that goes into finding the goodies for us.
Further questions and comments regarding this issue can be PMed to myself or
FieldMouse. Thanks.

Delko lends a helping hand to a young woman involved with prostitution.
I don't like when the team members help prostitutes/sex slaves, unless it was not their fault getting into the business.
It's happened in a few other episodes I think and I don't like it one bit.
I actually think this is an interesting development for Delko, and separates him as a character (He's often most associated with Horatio or Calleigh) so it's nice-for me, anyway-to see him act on his own for a victim, or someone in need (no matter their occupation or lifestyle).
But a large percentage of the women involved are either forced into it (sex slavery, corruption of at-risk youth, faced with the threat of bodily harm or death) or choose to do it because of an addiction (which, I guess depending on your perception of it, can either be a choice or not). So I can understand the sympathy that Delko might feel for this woman. I don't think most people say "Oh hey, I think I'll go sell my body when I grow up". :/
The first description of 10x04 made it sound a bit like a Criminal Minds episode (with the eye gouging). Maybe this season will have grittier storylines? I certainly hope so, at least.
