Prime Pick
The Unit (NBC): Repeat. Grey gets close with a female Israeli soldier, but they end up in hostile territory surrounded by militia members, in “Two Coins” from season two.
Law & Order (NBC): Repeat. It looks like the wrong doctor may have been killed, in “Executioner” from this past season.
Eli Stone (ABC): Repeat. Eli is trying to adapt to his new position at his firm, in “Heal the Pain.” The season replay jumps from the “Pilot” last week to episode seven this week. I guess that ABC agrees with me that the second half of the season was better than the first.
