Season 5, Episode 5
4/10
Not convinced

My wife and I watched this episode and she just kept shaking her head. Not much about it came across as believable to us.

It starts out with police surrounding a drug dealer in a building. Somehow they've managed to evacuate the entire building without his catching on. Then he flees through a basement passage under a parking lot into a building on the other side of the parking lot. Of course Mac thinks about this in the nick of time.

Supposedly the supplier is scheduled to show up with a drop, and somehow miss all the cops hiding behind parked cars, holding rifles. Dumb.

The crime in the hospital is also pretty shaky on believability. Other events at the hospital don't hold up, such as an orderly's attempt to kill Mac.

Once again, Sally barely figures into the story. No wonder Susan St. James wound up leaving. There's been very little for her to do all season. Yes, I know she also wanted more money.

Just not good writing for our money.
