As much as I liked the adversarial Goren/Nicole relationship, TPTB did end the season creatively. After the death of Goren's brother, there was no going back for them. Later, I loved the way Goren refused to believe Nicole was dead. It was more than his stated belief that she was fooling them. They really did care for one another, as two deeply damaged individuals will recognize that similarity and cling to each another. The saddest part was the little girl from "Grow" developing cancer. And, despite Declan's insanity, he was right about one thing: the new season in the Fall will start with a clean slate for Goren. Except for those unresolved feelings toward Alex. I think his now-late brother's comment about taking her to a motel and getting it over with may be the best line in the series' history!
