Man, this episode is up there with the best television show episodes I've ever seen.

I support this position.

In this one little episode, the writers:

1. Gave us a large chuck of Mike's back story, which answers a lot questions BB watchers have had about Mike; it also lays a foundation for the BCS folks that allows for a full development of the character.

2. Shows the beginning of a business relationship between Slippin Jimmy and Mike.

3. Establishes the beginning of Jimmy being considered a real defense attorney. When a guy like Mike brings in an attorney to represent him in a murder investigation, cops take notice and let's folks know you are for real.

4. Explains why Mike took Jessie under his wing. Jessie, like Mike's son (Matt), wasn't fully committed to the life of crime. Mike was trying to pull Jessie out of the underworld in order to offset the fact that he pushed Matt into it.

5. Let's us know that BCS is going to be more than a one character show. Mike is going to get a lot of airtime in this series.
