I enjoyed tonight's episode for the most part. I do have a concern or two though...
Aren't we supposed to be getting more of a storyline about Reid this season, and maybe some closure on the headaches? Also, if I recall correctly, Gubler's contract expires at the end of this season, and I haven't heard anything about it being renewed yet. Which leads to my main question -- was the interaction with the tumour-chip genius a sign of things to come? I hope not... but the fact that Reid knew so much about the technology, the company and the implications it is going to have in medicine leads me to believe that he's been reading up on the topic. I know they didn't find anything physically wrong with him last season, but that can change in the case of brain tumours. Also, his feelings about not having accomplished enough in his (short) life so far can be a sign of getting older (especially with milestone birthdays), but also indicative of one coming to terms with their mortality.
I seriously hope this isn't going where I suspect it is... but if Gubler's contract isn't renewed, I can totally see them pulling a brain tumour storyline (like every other show did a couple of seasons ago.)
