    The show is in recovery

    After 8 tepid, dreary, soap-opera episodes, this show seems to have found its feet again. The stories are interesting, Kitty is actually useful and not a burden, and I was entertained.

    Convoluted & Unbelievable

    This is the worst episode of the series. It really doesn't hold together. The premises don't work. There are unrelated connections. Things that supposedly explain the narrative are convoluted. Even the acting suffers as if the performers saw the absurdity of the plot.

    Plus, the economics of the story just don't add up.

    Skip this episode.
