First, I have always enjoyed Sara's character better than all the others on this series. Sara is far and above the best "real world" character in this series. And for the last 5 minutes of this episode, Jorja Fox deserves an Emmy! That said for all the hype, this episode was a let-down. Blame it on the writers knowing a strike was coming and they needed to get this one done. To take Sara's character and turn her on her head is almost going beyond unbelievable. She's kidnapped, nearly drowns under a car, wanders in the desert, finds her lover has spilled the beans, goes back to work while she's injured, gets a proposal, moves to another shift. No one notices that the woman needs a few days off for post-traumatic stress? Then she's given a murder involving an unresolved case from her past to deal with on her own? And we as viewers watch her fall apart when no one else does? She has enough reasons to go, just don't think this was written on the level of most episodes of this series. Hopefully, she will return (maybe she got a sabbatical like Grissom did last year) after dealing with ghosts and be stronger for it.
