DNA plays a major role in this episode. So does identity theft. I know the easiest way to handle the job — have Cerra play two roles. The twist is only the beginning. My favorite part? Seeing Matter's face as he questions someone he may care very much about. He isn't stupid enough to completely trust what he hears from her. He can't really afford to completely trust anyone, after all, he just possibly caused the stock market to crash ("Bad to the Drone") and his job has to be hanging by a thread. I get the impression though that the case has never been quite proven beyond a reasonable doubt, otherwise he would have been fired long ago. Still, he gets a response to his question that only one other person would know. I won't tell what happens next, but it works.
Fargo, in his own way, discovers even more of the puzzle. Only he would get himself trapped with the prime suspect. Painful secrets are shared, by both of them. A bond is made. Whether or not this relationship goes the same way Lupo and Donovan remains to be seen. The whole storyline may just pop up later.
Any big plot similar to say, the Artifact, is on the back burner for now. Whatever takes place, Jordan Hinson needs more singing opportunities! Being Zoe Carter and only the sheriff's daughter as opposed to a GD genius, gives her little screen time. Even with a few words, though, I can tell she has solid vocal qualities. Christopher Gauthier, who plays Vincent, is there for comic relief. He could use an episode focused mostly on him. Perhaps something which involves Dr. Jim Taggart (Matt Frewer)? The animal guy in Global Dynamics has been away ever since Henry was arrested for creating a fake crisis which could have killed Kevin, Allison's son ("A Night at Global Dynamics").
So far, the two episodes this half-season have been a bit lackluster. Ed Quinn has left the show, which means Nathan Stark and Jack Carter are not butting heads anymore and Eva Thorne (Frances Fisher) left town, so the "Fixer" is not creating conflict either. This opens the door to a new character or two, yet nobody has stepped up to the plate.
Tune in Fridays at 9pm for all new episodes of Eureka!
