Not sure I really bought big D in that sensitive role. I think that was more of a Reid job.

Actually, that part worked very well for me, reminded me of him with the boy victim in Foundation. I think it’s a nice contrast to Derek’s usual role in the investigation, keeps things fresh that way.

Cruz seeking out Derek in his office after the case really surprised me. I wonder what was up with that?

As for JJ and Cruz, I really hope they don’t / didn’t have an affair but the family theory mentioned above doesn’t work that well for me, either. I guess I’ll just wait and see what comes out of this one.

By the way, did this episode remind anybody else of Legacy? With the LDSK episode last week, it seems to me like we might get CM’s greatest hits revisited this season. I sure wouldn’t complain if this turns out to be a trend.

I love Legacy (I think my favorite episode ever) but this one hasn't reminded me of it (though the torture scenes where similar, kind of...). But then again I love Legacy because of the OCD cop plot and the shivering idea of such a sufficient home-cleaner...)

But the idea of revisiting the previous great episodes me likes :)

Admittedly, I haven’t watched that episode in ages but that made me all the more surprised when it came to the forefront of my mind right from the beginning. I guess it was the setup, the warehouses and especially the way Anton let Sam escape, the very first scene of this episode where Sam struggled his way through the rat-infested corridor on his bare feet in his desperate attempt to escape. Only the shards of glass were missing.

That was definitely a Legacy throw-back! And yes, I hope this trend continues as well.
