This is an honorable mention in favorite episodes, it's basically your typical set up plot but it's done well and really like the revelation near the end which I honestly didn't see but probably should of same with Laura. But I didn't mind due to how well things are set and how much you invest in what's going on, it was just one of those things you didn't really think about until near the end when it all makes sense.
I really the suspense in the episode where it slowly builds up as we see things are closing in for poor Remington. There is that fugitive thriller element as we see Remington must play hide and seek with the authorities while at the same time trying to clear his name. We're in the same boat as him along with Laura as we're trying to figure out what the hell is going on and why.
Even like bits of emotion from Remington slightly exhausted and sad as he doesn't know what and why this is happening, and both his time and hope are almost out of gas.
Laura has frustration and puzzlement as she feels both their lives are unraveling from this elaborate set up and she's unable to figure out why, which is sad as she's usually able to figure out things quickly but for once the answer is elusive.
There is an unknown opponent who is the first major villain this show has. This guy is a master of disguise and conducts everything like a chess player as Remington unknowing is being maneuvered right where he wants him.
The guy obviously like to play games, from his capabilities he could easily have taken out Remington (even Laura if he wanted) anytime he wants but that's not what he wants as it seems like his goal is to beat Remington, which makes sense if he killed Remington right then and there, the game would be over he'd lose by default.
Can Remington and Laura beat him at his own game, you'll just have to wait and see.
Rating: 3 and a half stars.
