- It seems as though Bruce has less than an exemplary record and someone
  has been cleaning up after him.

  lesson.

- Natalie tells Nick and Tracy that it wasn't the suspect that raped the
  murdered girl, and he was probably not the killer.  --The plot thickens.

  might have been the traitor. They think they've discovered the traitor,
  and Nick makes a terrible mistake.

- What terrible mistakes did Nick make during WW II?
- What part did LaCroix play in the confusion and horror of the past? 
- Will Bruce pay for his mistake?

Guest Stars: Callum Keith Rennie as Bruce

Review: *** This is a well directed crime drama with an emphasis on how
working amongst the grit and sleaze of the city can slowly turn a good man
into the same type of monster he despises.

The vampire lives in the back story where Nicholas was in the French
resistance movement during WW II. Nick had to face the evils and pressures of
war; and because of haste and misdirection, he stepped outside the lines and
the consequences were deadly.

As many predicted, the format of the show has moved toward the pastel colors,
young sex, and grit of 'Silk Stockings'. There is no doubt about it, they are
aiming for the 18 to 40 demographic. And as J.P. said about the new season,
"..it's a little Pulp Fiction!"

Nick seems to be maturing. He has more of a grip on things and seems fed up
with the guilt routine. The first part of Buddha may have been the last of
Nick's angst. 800 years is long enough to whine!
