The 2/18 ep of "NUMB3RS"

This was a solid ep. I was glad to finally see a little more of Amita and a little less of the physics guy (Larry?). It was also nice to have Terry be the one to figure out who the kidnapper was and to see David off investigating on his own, rather than just following Don and Terry around. I was relieved that the found the little girl alive; I worried throughout the ep that maybe all the tapes the kidnappers were sending had been made within the first few hours after they abducted her and that she'd been dead the whole time they were looking for her.
The personal stuff seemed slightly less interesting in this ep than in most of the previous ones, but it was still enjoyable. I figured out as soon as the Dad said he'd had an offer on the house that Charlie was the one who'd made it. And it does change the equation a bit (to use a math metaphor) in the Charlie/Dad relationship if Charlie is the one who actually owns the house. There's a subtle difference between being almost thirty and "still living at home" and being almost thirty and having your widowed father living with you in the home you own. I must say that Charlie is apparently a bit of a cheapskate, though; I can kinda/sorta see his Dad not charging him rent, per se, but I'd think Charlie would have at least offered to pay half the utilities and half the grocery money during the years he lived there after graduating college!
There was another one of those great dialogue exchanges, this time between the brothers:
Don: You'll enjoy being out on your own, Charlie. Look at me; I've got a great apartment in a nice part of town.
Charlie: If your place is so great, why is it that you're over here all the time?
LOL!! I *have* wondered why it is that Don never seems to go home! He just seems to wander back and forth between his father's house and the FBI office.
