Additional Comments: At the end of Friday's show after Jack fired his gun he ran to the back where Katie was and Jack was the first one to pick up the baby.  Then he discovered that Brad was shot.  Today's episode started with Jack firing his gun and Henry running to Katie and picking up the baby while Jack went straight to Brad.  It's not that big a deal I know but I just wonder if there is anyone that reviews episodes so that they are in sinc.

In the olden days when Friday cliffhangers were the norm it was quite common to have the beginning of Monday's show be a repeat of Friday's ending. And like this time, it was not uncommon for there to be differences in the take(dialog and sequence of events). I think they wanted to show the salient points, the shooting sequence at the beginning and Henry seeing that Katie and the baby were ok and Jack discovering he'd shot Brad. I don't mind them taking this kind of liberty with the material, both versions were well done and the differences don't change the impact the event will have over the next few days.

Gwad they showed two version! Why!! Friday's version made no sense at all. Therefore todays makes no sense. So how can anyone even enjoy these scenes, for what they suppose to represent, Also katie birth scenes were horribly written. Brad doesn't get to see the baby. That was the biggest mistake the writers have made in this sl. We get, The actor had to go he was bad news, and a great move. But what did brad ever do, he should have seen his son, all he heard of his baby was the crying . That is mean...

Completely different shots. Also on Friday, after Jack rolled Brad over, in the background you saw Uncle Ralphie standing there in the darkness, looking down at Brad & Jack and the look on his face was that of sorrow.

Anyone notice that wounded Ralph made it to Terri before the additional cops arrived at the warehouse and before they even found the lights to turn on there.

IMO it is a big deal! Sloppiness like that is part of the reason this show is at the bottom of the ratings.

    I notice that too.  I remember Jack handing Henry the baby because I was wondering why he did not check to make sure whomever he fired at was not hiding to pounce again.
