In a third season ep, about UFO's, Woodman mentions the Suicide hotline. In a fourth season ep where Mary Johnson is intoduced and she becomes suicidal Woodman, while trying to handle the situation, does not call the Suicide Hotline. BTW that ep about the Suicide attempt of Mary Johnson sure was a powerful ep wasn't it?

PS While much of the former ep was just a daydream of Gabe's, the part where Woodman mentions the suicide hotline isn't.

I totally agree with you about that eposide, the one when Mary wanted to kill herself. I think that eposide teaches you not to ignore anyone. That we all have to listen to one another. We may not always agree with one another, but listening is the most important thing we can do.

The sceen when all the guys were trying to convince Mary to come back in was probelry one of my favorite sceens in the whole series. I especially liked that sceen because it was serious, yet it had humor in at the same time.
