Final Thoughts:  Nick clearly isn’t over Krystle and I feel bad for Fallon, hopefully she will find out and dump his sorry ass.  He's quitting his private practice, which I think he only had because he was trying to get Blake back for his brother's death.  To me it didn't seem like he did much research in finding out if Blake knew about it or no, or if he was even around when it happened.  Blake didn't seem to have much trouble getting everything to prove his innocence.

Best Outfit:  I like that the shoes match the outfit as well and seem to me not appropriate shoe to be working out in.
