This episode sees Callister Raynes return to Eureka; he had previously worked as a programmer for Global Dynamics and been involved with Deputy Jo Lupo but had left Eureka under a cloud following a lab fire. Shortly after his return things start going wrong with anything connected to Eureka's computer system... Sheriff Carter suspects this isn't unconnected to Raynes' return. That isn't Carter's only thing to worry about; it emerges that his rebellious daughter, Zoe, has been involved in credit card fraud.
This was a really solid episode that was heavily character led but with the expected sci-fi twist. Raynes was an interesting character who managed to provide a real surprise; this also led to some good character development for the usually unsympathetic Nathan Stark. We also get some good development for Carter and his daughter as they struggle to deal with personal differences. The story progresses well and leads to a surprisingly emotional ending. We are also treated to some amusing moments; my favourite being the effects of a magnetic fence on Carter and Allison. Overall an episode that fans of the series should enjoy.
