Personnel management, eh?

Let's see. The only significant thing that comes to mind from a cursory reread is the (temporary) promotion of Barry Allen. We know from The Curse of the Big Train that he'll only have the job until Horatio Caine shows up. Barry may or may not be field-qualified, but even if he isn't, I suspect that he's perfectly capable of handing out assignments and doing the paperwork. The Chief wouldn't have put him in the slot otherwise.

My guess, therefore, is something that doesn't exactly happen onscreen. Catherine got selected for -something-, and Gryphon presumably had to sign off on it, even if it was just a rubberstamp of Skuld's recommendation.

BRIGHTEST DAY? We still don't know what that is, but it's only been about four months since she got the go-ahead for it.

We're in wait and see mode, I suppose.

Looking forward to the next episode.
