We're back for another Third Watch recap episode as we start the penultimate season of your favourite show with a look at the premiere episode of season 5 The Truth and Other Lies. Are we sad that we're coming closer and closer to the end? Is the shift towards police noticeable from the beginning of this episode? Are we surprised there seems to be a bit more fire-fighter action than we've had recently? Does Ben listen to Dorvell? Has Fred being working out to be able to run city blocks after having a heart attack in the last 12 months? How does Fred afford the best surgeon in the country? How on earth have they let Michael Beach shave his head in between seasons when the episode is set on the same day as the season 4 finale? Why does Joey once again get ignored and only referred to as 'a son'? Do we have a top 5 moment in this episode already? And how strong is this episode as a season premiere? There's a lot to talk about so let's get to it!
