I can see some of the reviews being left in here are by those who wish to never see politics in the shows they view. That is understandable, if not a bit extreme, but in my view, it can be done tastefully and with class as it was in this episode. It fits with the story as opposed to existing in the episode for its own sake.
Politics aside, this episode was a wild ride. The progression with the characters and the use of the Elevator Game as the focus for this week's case was excellent. Not to spoil anything, but it was awesome the way the case was solved and the disappearances of the two youths was explained in a practical sense. I put myself in Ben's position at a certain scene in the episode, and it was a terrifying thought. I believe this show is doing a great job of building a bond between the audience and the characters as I felt invested in the outcomes and wellbeing of each of the main protagonists.
