1x09 | A Different Kind of Death
E P I S O D E DISCUSSION T H R E A D

episode synopsis

Wallace brings the case of a death-row inmate, Earl Slavitt, to the CIU. Earl was convicted of murdering federal prosecutor Tom Simon, one of Wallace’s best friends. Simon did not believe in the death penalty, and Wallace, along with Simon’s widow, want to ensure that Earl did in fact commit the crime. With only days left before the execution, the CIU team shifts into high gear, looking for possible errors in the case. Instead, they uncover cracks in Simon’s reputation. Hayes and Wallace are challenged both professionally and personally, as the case draws to a stunning conclusion.

Thanks for getting this thread started Kay

I can't wait to see the new ep

. I am going to try my best to watch it tomorrow. My oldest is running a fever and my youngest has a cold so it's kinda touch and go as to when I can watch it.

Oof. I need time to recover after that.

I am intrigued by Sam & Maxine's history. I'm not particularly fussed by Hayes & Wallace's relationship but I do wish they'd stop flipflopping so much. It's only been 9 episodes and I swear they've gone from love to hate and back again five times already xD

Even though I saw it coming it was DEVESTATING that they found out he was innocent and were too late to stop his execution. I hope the bastard that did it gets the death penalty, and he's the reason they weren't able to stop the execution

!!! At least they got him for the murder but damn it's still sad and wrong

That episode was good, bad, sad, happy, funny, not funny all rolled into one.

I wondered how many other innocent people have died on death row. Such a shame.

Before they discovered it was Bill, I thought it might have been the ex-wife or son of Earl. I wonder what they're gonna think now when they find out he was innocent.

I'm probably the only one here who is rooting for Conner & Hayes!

He may like Naomi, but he loves Hayes. It's obvious & I will defend them 'til the end, which may not be long.

Their back & forth is so typical of any drama, so I'm not really surprised it's going that way, even if it is annoying.

I'm glad Sam stopped Maxine. I hope he'll be able to help her get back on the straight & narrow.

I know I have more thoughts, but I'll post them later when I get the chance.

I got to say I wasn't a fan of that ending, not just because it was sad which it was, but because it was sort of contrived imo. I did like the rest of the episode though and I appreciate that the show tries to tackle some tougher issues.
