Re: Without A Trace
err well lets see at the end of last season Jack was going to move to Chicago i believe with his then wife Marie, but found out she was using him to get dirt on him for a divorce, she had no intentions of him going with her and their girls, so then Jack had already Quit as the Head of the team, and recommended Viv.
Starting the new season (now) Jack didn't return to work right a way but in order to fight for his girls they told him he would have to return to his old position which caused tension for about 3 eps between him and Viv, as she was demoted back to her old position (which is an unofficial second in command), In the end Jack let Marie take the kids with her (as they played dirty using his childhood against him, it was revealed that his mother tried to commit suicide twice, on the second time she did kill herself, but both times Jack found her).
They also referred to the affair Jack had with Sam, the catch is that affair was over (when the show first premiered) and both had moved on thinking no one knew but those that worked with them did.
At the beginnning of this season Sam and Martin became involved, and from there they periodically bring it up in different eps, Such as martin saying he wanted to tell people.
Sam didn't want them to know because she was afraid they would judge her because she has slept with Jack and is now with martin, plus in some ways she didn't want to strain relations between Jack and Martin, which as it turns out their relationship didn't.
Seems the team already figured it out, and were ignoring it until they were ready to admit it.
Other then that, what would you mean by big?
