Did you blink?

If you did, you missed Mr. Balcer's appearance in Season 2 episode, "Blink".

Debra Matsell of the UK fired an email to us yesterday, with the correct answer, within an hour of posting this quiz!

"Oh I know this one. its the episode "blink" about the
horseracing scam. Rene is a murderer for the Israel
mob. I though he's be making enough money writting the
scripts I surprised he has to moonlight as a sort of
extra!!!! take care Ladies"

Who would have thunk anyone noticed!!
