Second, it's hard to watch kids killing kids (especially when you have 2 kids who argue all the time!). This was such a tragic story. Great acting all around. I need to watch it again. <br /><br />Thanks Deb and Erica for coming to chat.

As with the lost of Andrew Wilder and all the other writers, CM is losing a lot of talent and all those lost are casting a big shadow over CM next season, lets hope an actor will not leave too.<br /><br />That said, Shade of Gray was pretty good. Very disturbing case, a brother murdering his own brother, that was chilling. The kid who played Danny was so good.
