The looks of skepticism and befuddlement that cross Mac's face are priceless, and it's fun to see how Adam's initial bashfulness is gradually replaced by a growing confidence as he leads Mac through his world. Adam clearly enjoys showing Mac the nuances of the Second Life world: helping him customize his avatar so that he doesn't stand out as a newbie and instantly recognizing that Caesar is challenging Mac and that Mac will have to pass his tests to proceed. The funniest moment of the episode brings Stella into Second Life.
Adam changes Mac's avatar into a female so that he can attract the attention of Don Juan , but when Mac tries to flirt with the male avatar, it's clear he's got no game. Stella observes and steps in just in time to keep the online lothario from flying off once again. The mirthful expression on Melina Kanakaredes 's face throughout the scene is mirrored by the audience, and it's hard not to laugh out loud when Sinise's deep voice is changed into a woman's purr when his avatar changes sex.
The killer turns out to be a paid assassin--a female paid assassin. We don't get to see much of her, but what we do see intrigues. She cleverly takes a hostage and then ruthlessly shoots him when it becomes apparent that Mac is not going to fold easily.
She manages to escape, apparently through a garbage shoot. The conclusion won't air until February, but I'm curious to see if there's more behind the woman's motives than a simple paycheck. Are the judge and the congressman somehow connected? The story came together seamlessly, with every murder logically explained, and I wonder if the second part will play our as well as last season's double-feature multi-platforming episodes, "Hung Out to Dry" and "Raising Shane".
Mac ignores the call, but he's clearly not on top of his game, which both Stella and Flack pick up on. Interestingly, it is Flack whom Mac chooses to confide in, telling the homicide detective that it is his break up with Peyton--and the realization that it was inevitable--that has been weighing on his mind. What's most interesting is that this confidence comes in the aftermath of a divisive conflict between Mac and Flack in season three: Mac's decision to arrest Dean Truby, an officer under Flack who was responsible for stealing drugs from a bust and later murdering a man.
The most obvious route would have been to have the conflict continue to rankle between the two, but after Mac and Flack came to a truce of sorts in "Past Imperfect" , the rancor was truly put aside, and the experience seemed to give each a newfound, deeper respect for the other.
The beauty of that conflict was that both had legitimate, compelling points, and the fact that they were ultimately able to put aside their differences and really move beyond them is a testament to the complex realism the show embraces in its characters.
Stella's persistent suitor, Drew Bedford is back, this time sending her rock climbing equipment. Is he seriously not being labeled a stalker yet? Both Stella and Lindsay talk about it rather cavalierly, but Stella's caution in "Time's Up" was much more believable. Director Christine Moore. Anthony E. Zuiker Ann Donahue Carol Mendelsohn.
