Last year I suggested a couple of \"double play\" episodes, suggesting two episodes at a time which had very strong plot links to each other.

Well, I\'m glad I didn\'t suggest this as a companion \"twin spin\" to \"The only blood\". These both deserve to stand alone.

There are parallels a-plenty for both these shows...there ought to be, as they were both written by one of our faves Sam Dann. Each has a strong, Bible-believing man from the \"old country\". A son who was lost, to a gangster chieftain who himself has only one child. A police officer who says \"You can\'t get close enough to this guy to kill him, and even if you could you don\'t want to do this anyway.\" A plan initially for revenge, which somehow changes.

There was one part about the ending (it involved what Dryden\'s character said) I didn\'t enjoy as much, but that didn\'t stop me from enjoying this show.&nbsp;<br>
