I thought the episode was riveting - as usual. I love this show and the entire cast.
My take on the Hodge attack - and I know this is gruesome....but I interpreted it that The
Reaper may have, uh.....well.....'cut' Hodges manhood....making him unable to perform.
Hodge asking how his son will remember him in 10 years was heartbreaking. Although I think they almost HAD to write his wife and son out, because it was even more heartbreaking each week seeing him struggle with not being in their lives every day.
