    First 10* episode.

    Barney really drops the ball in his lack of security for Schuster (Herb Edelman). Instead just repeating "everything's going to be okay" when Schuster voices his concerns. I'm a big Herb Edelman fan so it was a treat to see him in this episode.

    The conversations in the cell between Schuster and Marty (Jack DeLeon) were classic. Barney's wife's visit was cleverly placed when everything was going wrong.
