Rachel Nichols wasn't a fan favorite in the beginning after AJ Cook was let go by CBS for budget reasons. Terrible bonehead move Network Execs. Seaver was a solid character who was blonde like JJ. Coincidence? With Prentiss and JJ returning there was no room for 2 blondes I guess. This episodes ties together and finishes Emily's secret Interpol life and almost death. Nothing beats the original team with Gideon and Elle. Rachel Nichols was a nice fill in. Too bad CBS couldn't make room for her.
