Without A Trace "Bend In The Road" Review
In A Bend In The Road, a young girl who has a heart transplant goes missing, and strangely, she is interested in the boy whose heart saved her life. Things are looking very serious for Agent Jack Malone. The human trafficking case results have been put on hold of sorts until Jack gets better.
I think having Jack’s injuries go to this level is more than appropriate because it seems he has always wanted to give anything to help the young victim he saved in the trafficking case (from a previous episode). Even when he wakes up in the hospital, you can feel the remorse he has for his actions (going off alone) and taking the blame by saying that he gave Viv orders.
Weaving in the plot of the parents of the Jenkins boy, their anger and grief, and their other son’s (Timmy) guilt was superb. In my opinion, this brought what could have been an average case to a much higher level. Danny did a great job questioning Kelli (Diana’s hapless friend), and Elena was great working with Martin in this case.
The real highlight besides Jack waking up in the hospital was Sam having coffee with her baby Daddy, Brian Donovan. I still look at his character, and just wonder, how did Sam fall into that spider web? If Sam and Brian are supposed to be a mismatched couple, then they are doing an excellent job in their portrayals. Sam seems a lot more grounded than Brian. Overall, another amazing episode, and it ended perfectly with Vivian at Jack’s bedside reading out loud from a magazine.
