13 is the most they're going to be able to show this late in the season. Maybe 22 for next year if it gets picked up.
This latest episode was the best one yet. It was a good balance between humor and ME/police work.
I could do without the weepy, trite mother-daughter bonding shit; there isn't a teenager in the world who would make a video about her mother like Megan's daughter did there, that's just ridiculous, and distracting the rest of the show. I'm really liking the cast though.
Agree that this was the best episode yet - certainly the most interesting case so far. The supporting cast is still growing on me more each week.
I could really do without the overly blunt "Hey Megan - here's how this week's case is a metaphor for your life!" revelation moments. I don't mind the parallelism, but at least trust the audience enough to notice it on their own.

Dana Delany = 
Christina Hendricks was just awful on this episode. She had zero chemistry with that doctor guy, which I find fascinating because they're married in real life.
I've grown to really like this show. Dana Delaney and Jeri Ryan are, of course, stellar, and the supporting cast is pretty good too. Also I think it's really cool that the show's set in Philadelphia - I didn't realize it until I saw the William Penn statue in the first episode.
I had a really hard time placing the grumpy older doctor before giving up and looking him up - he's done Miller Lite commercials which is where I recognize him. Megan's confidant/partner guy seems pretty forgettable somehow; there's nothing wrong with him, but he doesn't do much for me and I'd rather see more of Jeri Ryan's character.
Whatever happened to the kinda assholish guy cop? I liked him for the friction he brought and that he's ultimately a good guy.
I thought Christina Hendricks was great as always - and that guy's married to her? Wow, good for him!

I haven't watched this since episode 2, but I heard Christina Hendricks was in the latest one so I caught it on the On Demand channel, and it was pretty good, story-wise. Although it was the second show I watched on demand that day where the killer turned out to be the old friend of one of the regulars -- I really should've seen that coming, since it's always the old friend, isn't it?
Although I'm still not fond of the show's cast overall. Delany and Ryan are fine (and I love seeing Ryan get all commanding and strict and pull out the old "Resistance is futile" voice), but I don't like any of the other actors.
And Christina Hendricks is rather impressive. I was thinking that if they ever make a Gilligan's Island movie, she'd be ideal for Ginger.
EDIT: Okay, now I've caught the remaining two episodes via On Demand, and they were pretty good. I've seriously reassessed this show. At first I thought Megan was just another House knockoff, another entry in the cliched category of misanthropic genius crimesolvers. But instead that seems to have just been her starting point, and the show is about her journey to become more compassionate and engaged with people, to redeem her past mistakes, and so on. I love stories about redemption and self-improvement. So now I'm sold. I'm starting to warm to the cast a bit more as well, or at least getting used to them.

Interesting enough show but the only thing that's going to keep me watching is Dana Delany who is just nice to look at for even a middle-aged woman.
Christina Hendricks = Most over-rated woman in the history of TV.

Oddly enough, I've never cared that much for the pictures of her from Mad Men (which I should get around to watching). Actually - I think Christina Hendricks is more than most people so, so much better in motion and sound than a still can capture. Does that make sense?
Also, Trekker, umm... Jeri Ryan?

No, that's quite fair.
As Joan, in Mad Men, her attitude and command of every situation are totally hot.
