Really enjoyed the story. Very original plotline and great acting throughout with some interesting nods at classic episodes (the Time Enough At Last cardboard sign on the bench for one).
The only downside was that the ending was pretty much broadcast from the start. The detective was having obvious issues with his partner as he didn't want to talk to her over the phone (even though he insisted on answering it in the first place?). As the last scene played out I thought, wouldn't it be silly if he turned out to be The Guy? And yes, implausibly, he was.
That silliness aside this has been the best episode so far in this current reboot. I think it's plain to see that as long as the preaching is kept out of the shows then they can really be entertaining like the classic episodes always were.
