Where did everybody go?

This is the discussion post for Episode 9x03 - "Final Shot". Watch out for SPOILERS in the comments.

So the whole Maya/ sniper was a fantasy? She was hiding out all along?
And what was the link between Maya and Rebecca Shroeder? I didn't get that part.

Otherwise very solid episode-- i like the non gory ones as well. This was quite mysterious and i liked the trying to save the case.

Best parts: JJ&Morgan with the prisoner and Spencer breaking down the time of the shootings. I thought that it was going to be a white guy killing but the black South African was a twist.

Rebecca was Maya's "Angel". She went from the shelter to Rebecca house and then was smuggled out by the delivery guy who didn't know her name.

I'm not a huge fan of the gore either. Loved the psychological mind twisting going in the prison and with the whole Maya/Sniper fantasy.

I kinda missed the part where the original victims of the sniper were connected to Rebecca though.

There were only two intended targets. Rebecca was the one at the gas station. I don't remember how the first one tied in. Have to rewatch I guess. Oh the pain :)

Victim #3 in the first shooting was a social worker from the domestic abuse center. Rebecca was a community angel for that same center (which was the one Maya worked with).

You do realize that one meaning of "maya" is "ensnarement in illusion"?

Oh cool. I didn't!

I agree. Less gore, more action/figuring things out.
