From TvTome:

Quote:

The episode deals with Harrison and a woman he is seeing, Sarah. Sarah is married a man named Andrew, but doesn't mention this to Harrison in the beginning. Tru learns about this connection when Andrew turns up in the morgue. The story hinges on two sides of the same story. Sarah says that she hid the fact that she was married, because she was divorcing Andrew for abusing her. Andrew tells Tru that he never touched her, and he doesn't want to divorce Sarah because she's after his money. Tru and Harrison are caught in the middle, and things might not go well when Harrison offers to get Sarah a gun for her own protection.

I have to say, I didn't really like this episode. Kinda makes Harrison seem pretty stupid. But I like Cobie. She was in this show Vertias I watched... but it got cancelled after just like 4 or 5 episodes.

I thought Cobie Smulders was smoldering...enough so that I looked up who she was after seeing the episode. But this is still probably the one I liked the least out of the whole series. It's a dumb story that you figure out at least halfway through...the only zinger that worked for me was the flashback where you find out that Tru called the husband instead of Harrison.

Yeah, it was a pretty typical dumb story. Kinda like a bad made for tv movie.

Wild Pikachu · 01-24-2005, 07:18 PM

I think a lot of the early shows suffered just because of the lack of a dynamic. Once they had Harrison more or less convinced of Tru's power, a lot more possibilities opened up.

I agree with you Wild Pikachu. This was never one of my most favorite episodes.

I think that's why I was constantly trying to get it voted off. Haha.

Yeah, not my favorite. But it had some nice scenes. If I could remember what they were

Wild Pikachu · 01-26-2005, 12:13 AM

I don't remember the first half of the episode at all...
