I'll try and write this review as delicately and sensitively as I know how to. As I read the summary of this episode, it tells me that this is a simple case of if a good person chooses not to do something good, or in this case help someone in trouble, then pretty soon that person's inaction is going to come back and bite him in the butt. Such is the case for Matt McGreevy, whose refusal to help John Woodrell, for whatever reason he may have had, forced him to have that inaction come back and hit with a vengeance. That should explain the name of the title of this review, about walking in another person's shoes. McGreevy started getting a taste of what the victim was feeling when he developed the same injuries that killed Woodrell, and then he began to start looking like the victim. I guess he finally realizes where and how his prejudice and apathy would take him--to his final reward. Perhaps we can all learn from watching something like this, since we all live in the real world where things like this actually happen every day. Especially right now with what's happening with shooting deaths of unarmed people all over the U.S. We need to work harder to strengthen our empathy and our compassion, and try not to follow the old adage of "life imitating art", or vice versa. That's how World Wars are started, and who needs 'em?
