'Last Act'

[ithildin]

Welcome to Forever Knight Episode discussion. We're starting at the beginning, and depending how it goes, we'll do one to two eps a week. You can last week's post for For I Have Sinned here. Next up will be Dying To Know You -- look for it next Tuesday.

Last Act, Air Date: May. 1992

A young woman dies, and all evidence points to suicide. Nick, however, has a gut feeling that it was murder, but seems unable to prove it. Added to his stack of unsolved crimes, it makes Nick question his own feelings of self-worth, especially after hearing about another, real suicide: that of one of his "old friends". Nick must search through his memories of their relationship of centuries past to determine why she killed herself, and why he shouldn't. ~ recap and quotes via tv.com

Schanke: Nick, don't drop him. Think of the paperwork.

This episode is also the first one where I began to find Schanke bearable and possibly even endearing instead of endlessly annoying.

Yeah...before we just see him as the comic relief but given the serious nature of the topic, we are able to get a better glimpse of a man who has his own mask to wear - the easy going, loud mouth hides a man that's street smart and not too easily frightened to do what needs to be done to uphold the law and protect the innocent...
