...Detective Cassidy.

I made the decision to start the entire series over from the beginning. It's been over twenty years but I was a lot younger when I first started watching the series.

Now older, I can appreciate how the characters' backgrounds are laid out piece by piece.

For some reason, Cassidy always stuck in my mind. I remembered I loved seeing him on the screen though he was only there every now and then. I thought he was a badass. But seeing how the beginning went. I realized he was such a good guy with a big ass heart. A little dopey which was super cute but always went above and beyond.

This episode gave his character a lot more definition and more importantly HEART. That of course has to be thanks to Dean Winters. It makes sense why his character was reassigned to Narcotics but it won't stop me from being sad not to see him consistently.

Only one bone to pick. I think it was a mistake to put Benson and Cassidy together as lovers. We all know Benson is an amazing woman and detective. But season-one-Benson was not good enough for him and I wanted him to see that. The writers made him out to be lovesick teenager at times and I felt for him.
