This is one of the better episodes; wither for a first watching or subsequent watching. This is an episode which will end with you wonder where all that time went. I often wonder why do some shows are best on a first viewing and not so much on a second, and why some episodes only get better with each viewing. Twists, surprises and tension are all good elements for a first watching, but lose their impact when you know what is going to happen. Other episodes work on chemistry, the interaction between characters you care for and those characters struggles with the adversity they are up again. Those episodes work on basic human emotion, loyalty, friendship, not giving up and other related emotions. This episode is one of those episodes and this makes this series a classic. But for those who like plot twists and surprised, don't worry, this episode has them in spades.
