"CSI: Vegas" fans' hearts were melting from the moment Josh Folsom (Matt Lauria) and Beau Finado first visit Michael in the hospital room. It is clear that Beau begins looking out for him, shutting the blinds in the room, and putting sunglasses on him when he realizes the bright light is probably hurting his eyes. "Beau and Josh with this little boy," tweeted @timbrvdford. "[Oh my God] Beau is sooo cute with kids," wrote @capmarvelsidle. The entire episode was filled with moments like this, as Beau treated Michael with the same gentleness we imagined in his interactions with his own daughter. At the end of the episode, Michael shows how much he trusts Beau, walking up to him and holding his hand as an upsetting moment unfolded. Fans melted. "Aww ... the kid holding Beau's hand," wrote @Caitlin_schafft. "So cute! He trusts him."
While viewers loved seeing this more serious and protective side of Beau, we really hope he reconsiders his decision to go back to the lab. We may never understand how difficult and heartbreaking the work of a CSI can be, but they need more compassionate people like Beau in the field.
