Stunned by the action, Jane walks up. Boom, he's chipped and left to wonder what hit him. She does feel pain though and her hand is killing her, her blood is left on the wall.

THERE WE GO! Instantly the best one because she's doing what she's supposed to be doing — getting hurt a lot to save the day.

As a sly aside at the end, McBride and Vasco drive up to a prison - and we find out the captured neuros usually get taken to this specific detention center to be held. But that may change, though we're not told why.

Because this is airing sixth but was filmed third, I'm putting it in that position of the story arc - and it still wouldn't have fit in, but it's good. This is an episodic show, rather than one that has threads of story weaving together all the episodes. But since we're dealing with a very small cast of characters, that hurts. This small band of thespians has to be able to act to carry that closeness. Not yet, that's for sure, though this one was a cut above the rest, ironically making me see something I want to see.

Next episode, yes, as we have been led to suspect, Painkiller Jane is identified as a neuro, and she goes a little crazy at the thought (though she had perhaps suspected, too?).
