    Ned Beatty MAKES this episode!

    Just as I've noted in reviews for previous episodes in this great series where Meg Foster and Don Johnson among others made their individual episodes with what should have been Emmy winning performances, the great Ned Beatty does so here. His conflicted performance is, in a word, REAL. Every scene that he's in is authentic and the viewer can even feel his tension and empathize because of how well he pulls you into the performance. Kudos all around.
