The revelations about Hawkes have the potential to be fantabulous if they're properly executed, and it'll be interesting to see Mac and Flack taking up for Hawkes, but this also has the potential to be a giant clusterdoodle. It will all depend on the pacing, in my opinion. If they're smart and makes Hawkes' drama a two-parter, it will be brilliant, but CSI:NY has the alarming tendency to either shoehorn too much into too little time or spread the character and plot development so thinly that they make up for it with dull montages.
Two thoughts occurred to me after reading the spoilers:
-If Hawkes is already in an orange jumpsuit by the time Mac goes all Bunker Hill, doesn't that mean he's already been arraigned, and if so, wouldn't he be fired?
-Unless the bar in which the waitress was shot was pitch-black, how would anyone mistake Hawkes, a nummy, nummy man of color, for Shane Casey, who looks like an Ewok with mange?
