Hidden Gold
In this episode, a prominent atheist and her daughter are kidnapped. The detectives investigate and come across multiple suspects... and red herrings.
This episode was pretty great in my opinion, although there a few gripes with it and thus, I do understand why some dislike this episode. I can see why some would disagree with how the atheists are portrayed here (didn't really mind, but it did feel one-sided at times). However, I really did like the plot and its interesting twists and turns but I did feel the antagonist was a tad annoying at times and he was pretty easy to hate in the denouement. Goren's last line is also really badly written in my personal opinion. Other than that, I felt this was a pretty great episode mainly because of its plot.
Overall, "Eosphoros" was a pretty interesting episode purely because of its plot which makes it watchable. However, I did feel the antagonist could've been more complex and that the portrayal of the characters here felt a bit biased and one-sided.
