In the second episode of Forever, Henry Morgan brings the cops'attention to a young woman's death. Ruled as a suicide, the police view it as an open and shut case, but when Morgan points out certain small details, it looks like suicide is out the door for this one. Despite being told not to have anything to do with the case, Detective Jo teams up with the odd medical examiner to investigate the woman's death.
This episode expanded further on the hero's life somewhat - giving the impression that he does in fact know what it is to have children and to lose them, though considering the fact that he adopted Abe who is now an old man, he hasn't really lost a child. I thought Morgan snooping around was interesting; apparently when you're immortal, you're fearless of heights but scared of people finding out your secret.
Now, why is it that in all these shows the one guy {Shawn Spencer in Psych, the mentalist dude in The Mentalist, Rick Castle in Castle, etc.} is the person who notices all the small details that the police always overlook? Don't you think the trained detectives who've been doing this for longer would notice those kinds of things? Just a thought. Oh and I have a suspicion that in the show, Morgan's wife left him instead of dying as originally assumed.
