I'm seeing a blend of the Bobby Kennedy and Bhuto assasinations here... Of course since it's CI, it's not going to be that straightforward.
There's a scene from the episode (not just a trailer) up on the USA CI homepage.
I almost hope we don't meet the fiancee, but Logan does and starts ragging her about it. It seems their relationship has become very "older brother/younger sister", so I wonder if any guy is going to be good enough for her in Logan's opinion.

That's true, he seemed pissed just at the idea that Wheeler has a fiancee, so I'm sure Logan's gonna give her a hard time about it... and the guy when/if he meets him.

So am I. It's supposed to be really good. Hey maybe that's how they write Mike off!! Somebody said it loooked kinda like him but yet again he wouldn't be answering to the shooting when he's the one shooting. I really hope it's somebody we've heard of before, but not someone who abslutly love.

I saw that, it was funny. They do have me watching. But I'm usually so busy posting comments about LOCI that I miss stuff on IPS and have to watch it again later.
It's going to be sad watching Logan now, knowing that he's leaving. ::sob::

Well, Mike's got a few more episodes yet before he leaves.
Honestly, I'm kind of hoping they kill him. Is that sick? I like Mike, I do, I really do, I think he's hilarious, but I just can't see Mike "retired" or "crippled" on duty. It's almost a mercy to kill him. Part of me thinks that that's how Mike would like to go.

I am being tortured right now. My TV is not allowing me to watch a show as I am DVR'ing it. It says "Recording", but on the actual channel it is a black screen of death. My daughter then tells me the select key on our remote is not working so I can't stop the recording to watch it live.
Hubby then adds to be helpful, "It will be on about 10 more times this week anyways, watch it then".
If this was a VDO episode, I would be in tears.

You're not alone. On my cable provider, USA is considered "expanded service", and while I have a picture, there is no sound ---- We've been having thunderstorms on and off, and the expanded channels have gone "dark" a couple of times, but this is the only one with no sound. Figures.

Actually, it is my newly acquired taste "Bud Light with Lime". It is a girl beer. Really light. I am just about to twist off number two's lid because my DVR recording didn't work. I know where I am going on my way to work, to the Time Warner place to get a new remote. I don't want a new box, because I have so many other episodes of Criminal Intent recorded, I don't want them lost.
I can't thank you all enough for your prompt posts about the episode. I am living through you all.

I would have liked this episode more if USA didn't give the killer away in the preview. It's getting annoying. Now next week we know from the preview that someone is going to hold Goren at gunpoint in a daycare. I know they are trying to tease us to watch, but they need to figure out a way to do that without giving up the good stuff. It's making episodes predictable and pissing me off!
