Review of The Faithful

Excellent episode, with several nice plot twists, ending up in a very different place from any that we might have suspected as things were getting started. Good police work by Goren and Eames, but the real kudos go to O"Keefe as a priest who is willing to make real sacrifices for those he loves—sacrifices that include serious violations of several commandments. Both Goren and he are put in a position where they have to break rules for the good of others; both do so without trying to weasel out of their guilt. Great writing, fine acting, excellent direction. This fourth episode really gets things going for the series!
