A pretty exciting episode, except for

all the heavy breathing and some very over the top acting.  I know, we have to play make-believe but everybody was so out of breath when they hadn’t even done anything.  I understand hyperventilating but, everybody?  It’s also strange whenever something like this happens, everybody is knocked out and then they all "come to" right away (at the same time) and are unharmed except for some minor cuts and bruses.

Bo and Dan didn’t seem to be in too much of a hurry trying to remove the debris from Nicole.  And I wish they wouldn’t portray her as such a crybaby.  She’s just not like that.  The REAL Nicole would have been trying to free herself from the inside.

The only believable (to me anyway) actions came from Abby when she was scrunched up in the corner of the elevator, not saying or doing anything.  THAT, for me, was some pretty believable reactions and portrayed what I think real fear would be.

And I had to laugh at Mel and Brady trying to pass the time with small talk, that was funny.

Did I read it correctly that Madison died in Ian’s arms?  So, is she dead?  I guess that’s supposed to be what Brady was feeling.  First Bo and Hope have this magical connection and now Madison and Brady too?  Pushing it just a little, aren’t you writers.

Anyway, the hour passed very quickly.  I’ll give everybody a B+.
