This is the first of two WtB stories written by Cherie Eichen and Bill Steinkellner (who married at some point).  It's better than the earlier Nick episode in that, one, Nick is more honest about his dishonesty, in the sense that he immediately admits to breaking out of his minimum-security Connecticut prison when denied parole; two, there's some humor from the way the characters talk about being in jail as a good thing; and three, the Nick/Mona relationship seems more balanced this time.  Note that he will be eligible for release in eight months.
