It took me a while to figure out what's going on the first half of the show... as, it's somehow different from the rest of the episode I have watched before, ie. to catch the criminal as to prevent the next murder to take place... this one is... not so much to 'prevent'.. that's why it took me a while, as there wasn't a recent murder case...
The next half took my full attetion as Gideon was trying his best to save Sarah Jean... her look is just too sad to look at, and lastly she mentioned to Gideon, "my life ended the day I met Jack"... ooh, it made me wanted to cry...
As most of the TV crime cases recently are about over-protective and obsessive mothers... I rarely see such a self-sacrificing mother..
Sarah Jean decided 15 years ago, to go to jail with Jack, on a death penalty... to protect her own son Riley... it's so sad... as there're so many other mothers who claim that they'll do whatever it takes to protect their children, but the last thing they think about is for the real good of their children, and also to give up their life totally, and speaking about giving up her life, Sarah Jean gave it up for a duration of 15 years, that's a long wait, and that's torturing for her soul... what I am saying is, for some mothers, to give up maybe easier to give it up instantly, rather than to give it up in such a slow pace, 15 years.
I was glad that Gideon made a good choice, as not to tell the kid(Riley) to come forward... usually one will insist in doing that, to get the kid to come forward, just for self-justification and nothing else... but Gideon really thought for Sarah, and Riley, and Riley's current parents... as Sarah said, what good will it do, to let Riley knows who his real parents were.
This story tells about a very self-less person's life...
Gideon: Albert Pine said, "What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal."
Episode title: Riding the Lightning.
The term "riding the lightning" was used to describe an execution by the electric chair. The condemned would be summarily electrocuted in the chair, hence he/she would "ride" the electric current.
