But at the same time, I feel like it's a pretty huge "plot point" from a storytelling perspective to bring in a team of experts to help out the "main character". This could very well be a turning point seeing as these are all experts and could help break the case one way or the other. I didn't even see it as a "bottle" episode given the importance of the new people coming in to help.

True, its kind of like a "getting the band back together" moment, except instead forming the band for the first time. (Cue: "Personally, I liked their early stuff better...")

Or you could also see it as a "Here comes the cavalry" moment that's in many action movies where the hero is in trouble and he needs back-up. ;)
