Without A Trace - Second Season Episode Survivor

Meredith44 · 05-25-2005, 09:20 PM

I finally did it! Here is the second season episode survivor...

Round 1

Okay, here are the rules...
1. I have provided a list of the episodes in Season 2.
2. Vote for the episode left on the list that you like the least.
3. Short descriptions and pictures have been provided to help identify the episodes. For the most part, the pictures are of the victim(s). (There are exceptions when I felt it aided identification of the episode.)
4. If the pictures don't help, click on the episode title and it will link you to the TV tome description of the episode. (Still don't recognize it? You're probably safe in voting it off.

)
5. Changing your vote during a round is allowed, just be sure to indicate that it is a changed vote.
6. Discussion of votes is encouraged.
7. Each round will last approximately 3 days.

Season 2

The Bus A school bus full of high school students is hijacked, and ransom is demanded.

Revelations After being involved at a car accident scene, priest disappears. It is important to find him quickly because he needs to have an organ transplant.

Confidence A recently engaged socialite disappears while going out for a quick run to a store. As the team investigates her, they discover that she was a con artist.

Prodigy A 14-year-old violin prodigy and her valuable violin disappear the night of a concert.

Copycat A stay-at-home mother disappears in the middle of unloading groceries from her car. The case has similarities to an old case of Jack’s and involves Graham Spauding, back for revenge.

Our Sons and Daughters After a high school boy goes missing, the secret after-school activities of the town’s teens are revealed.

A Tree Falls A boy is snatched in broad daylight, but no one comes forward to ask for or offer help.

Trip Box A fireman vanishes after rescuing two people from a burning building. Martin and Vivian deal with the fallout from the events of “A Tree Falls”.

Moving On A prominent female neurosurgeon with a haunting past disappears after jogging with her ex-husband.

Coming Home A man leaves his class reunion and never makes it home. His seemingly perfect life turns out to be an illusion.

Exposure A celebrity freelance photographer disappears after trying to turn around his life.

Hawks and Handsaws The team searches for a young criminal defense attorney who may be developing paranoid schizophrenia.

Life Rules A fast-rising self-help speaker leaves in a limo to go to the airport, but then the real limo arrives to pick him up.

The Line When a bounty hunter shows up at a suspect’s house, she is shot at and subsequently disappears.

Wannabe Does this one really need a description? Fine…A twelve year old boy disappears from a school restroom, leaving behind a broken mirror and blood on the wall. Danny has an intense emotional scene at the end.

Risen After four years of searching, Vivian investigates a new direction on an old case in which a young woman had disappeared from her workplace.

Gung Ho A soldier who had just returned from the Iraq war disappears. This is another episode with an intense Danny scene at the end. (Poor Danny!)

Legacy While investigating the case of a man who disappeared while going to deposit money, the team uncovers long-buried secrets. Also, Danny is asked to get involved back in the life of his convict brother and Martin’s upcoming firearms qualifications test brings up disturbing memories.

Doppelganger When a woman disappears, the team investigates not only her live-in boyfriend, but also his identical twin.

Shadows Another one that probably doesn’t need a description, but…When Martin’s aunt, who has breast cancer, disappears, he investigates it unofficially with the help of Samantha. Also, Jack deals with his father, who may be in the initial stages of Alzheimer’s disease.

Two Families A man disappears while trying to prove the innocence of his son, who was convicted of murdering a young married couple 11 years ago and is scheduled to die in two days.

The Season A coach disappears after being fired. The past season he had instituted new behavioral and academic standards, but the team had a losing season, which upset the administration and alumni. Also, Jack has a difficult decision to make when Maria tells him she is moving to Chicago for her job.

Lost and Found A girl comes into the FBI office and says that she thinks she was kidnapped 13 years earlier. Also, Jack tells the team of his decision to move to Chicago with his wife.

Bait In Jack’s last case before moving to Chicago, the team investigates the disappearance of a multi-millionaire’s family after their yacht turns up with the captain murdered.

Okay, those are all of the episodes from the second season. Unfortunately, I (again) had too many pictures, so I removed the ones (temporarily) from Copycat, Wannabe, Shadows, Lost and Found, and Bait because I figure a) Most people know those episodes without pictures, and b) Those episodes aren't likely to be voted out in the first few rounds anyway. I will add the pictures for those episodes back in as other episodes are eliminated.

Hopefully I covered everything, but if there are any questions, feel free to ask.
This round of voting ends Saturday. (hopefully...)

Have fun!

It is going to be really hard to vote for episodes for me this season. There are a few episodes that I absolutely love, a few episodes that I really like, and a bunch of episodes that were okay. I don't know how I'm going to pick, since I don't hate any of them! I guess, maybe I'll go for The Season. I don't recall any exceptional moments in that one.

Thanks Meredith..

Am gonna have to spend a little time reviewing the episodes again, and just don't have the time now... Will be back later to vote!

**NikNak** · 05-26-2005, 09:05 AM

Thanks, Meredith!

I'll have to think about my vote, too, and post it later.

carrieross · 05-26-2005, 10:04 AM

Okay, guys: I'm ready.
I cannot vote for the moment

, so tell me how I can help here!

Dublingal · 05-26-2005, 10:22 AM

Well I know which one I think should win for this series (Wannabe, Wannabe, Wannabe). But deciding on what should go from season 2 is gonna be hard. I really loved most of the eps.

I think I'll go with The Line first. It was never one of my favourites.

**Lazy** · 05-26-2005, 10:40 AM

This should be easier than in season 1 round since I've seen more than three episodes

I think my first vote goes to The Line. I didn't really care about it.

I think that Wannabe and Shadows are both going to be up there. Probably with Lost and Found and Copycat as well. I know that I definitely think Wannabe was the best of the season!

I'm not so partial to The Line either, but I think I didn't vote for it just because they recycled the characters into John Michaels. Well, since I wasn't so fond of John Michaels, maybe I should have used that as a reason to vote for it!

**Astra** · 05-26-2005, 05:43 PM

Okay... it's definitely tough to pick for me in S2, but I think I'm going to vote for "Prodigy"

**NikNak** · 05-26-2005, 06:28 PM

I think we might be all in agreement as to which episode should win this season. Finally.

I still haven't voted yet. I am thinkin'...

I was actually seriously thinking about voting for Prodigy, because of the actual story, but I love the picture so much (I'm not sure why...the angle? the lighting?) that I cannot bring myself to vote for its elimination quite yet!

**Astra** · 05-28-2005, 06:38 AM

This round is going to be much more difficult I believe!

jennarose · 05-28-2005, 07:27 AM

It's hard to remember some of these episodes, but I know there were some I didn't like. This shouldn't be so hard!

I'll vote for Gung Ho.

carrieross · 05-28-2005, 09:03 AM

I don't have a clue of which ones are the worst, as I didn't watch them, but I do know which are the best, and I don't want them to be voted off soon.

I vote for The line, I trust your judgements.

Well, if the Line loses out, I won't mind either... Those were 2 of the first 3 I decided to 'gun' for...

**NikNak** · 05-28-2005, 08:00 PM

The Line
