Early in 8 Years, episode 11 of Cold Case‘s third season, Lt. John Stillman makes a bit of a joke about Olivia, Lilly’s one eyed cat (see above). Karmic retribution comes swiftly as John’s ex-wife Rita makes a surprise visit to the station. Did anyone notice a certain similarity?
Speaking of the boss, 8 Years was one of the handful of CC episodes to contain music by a single artist. In this instance the plot was worked around the songs by Bruce “The Boss” Springsteen. I’m not au fait with this young person music but I gather it is popular. Quite how it fits in with a crime that occurred way back in 1988 I can’t imagine 
This must also be one of the few episodes of CC to include the title in the opening sequence when it shows time has passed with the caption “8 Years Later”. The gap shows how the lives of four close friends have changed and culminated in the death of one of them.
After revisting the past to solve the case the show ends with various squad members revisiting the past in the own lives. John meet his ex, Nick (Jeremy Ratchford) succumbs to temptation, and as for Lilly… Her reminiscing with a witness about a wild/romantic interlude in her past gets her thumbing through the photo album. Who could the shy be-helmeted gentleman be?

Update: Ooops. I jumped the gun. I was supposed to post the most recent poll winner, which was Colors, here. That will be posted next week now.
