 Too bad the first driver didn't call the police. What did Alex
tell him?  Have Luka and Sam get there a little too late.   What if
they'd been driving down the road, and saw him in that truck?  The
crash
was too realistic.  How come the airbags didn't go off?   Wouldn't the
owner of the antelope be liable? That's assuming there was one. When do

they get the car back?

Ummm... antelope are wild animals. Nobody owns them. (And hitting deer
and deerlike animals is VERY common in places like that, and does tend
to wreck your car.) Good point about the airbags though. ANd shame on
Sam for NOT realizing that she's falling asleep and just pulling over
for a couple of hours (or at least getting some coffee at the next
truck stop). She'll be no good to Alex if SHE'S dead in a ditch.

That was sick
about the breast feeding.  It's disgusting enough when a younger kid
can
say," nurse me."  Still, the story needed more development.

Not sure what was sick about it.  It was, unfortunately, another
example of the show playing breastfeeding for laughs.  Some kids that
old DO still breastfeed, and there's nothing wrong with it. However,
they don't do it for a large part of their nutrition, so the idea that
the kid is complaining of hunger was just ludicrous. If he was getting
hungry sitting in the waiting room, Mom could have, should have (and,
IRL, 99.9% of the time WOULD HAVE) gotten him a snack from the vending
machine, or taken him to the cafeteria.
