I really loved the episode Legion when I first saw it. Particularly memorable was Bobby's dance in the studio, a little left field moment. I thought the episode emphasized how much young people want guidance, limits and respect, and how their desire for these legitimate and worthwhile things can actually leave them at the mercy of someone who just appears to offer them. I felt terribly sorry for the parents who knew their kids were dead, knew who did it, and were too terrified and trapped by the circumstances to speak out about it.
It was one of the first CI episodes I watched when I discovered the series, and the ending really added to my respect for the show and the writers - they had what they needed to take down Jo-Jo, but Bobby still went after the boy who realised that he had been completely duped and was so totally shattered, and took the time to reassure him that he wasn't stupid, that it was Jo-Jo's fault and not his, to try to repair his self-image a bit. It is details like this that make the show stand out from most of the other police shows around.
