This episode approaches dark comedy in a way that Medium rarely does. There are two murders, but both are treated lightly--even humorously. The basic plot is that an attractive young woman has killed her ancient husband for his money. We learn that her lover, a computer hacker, is stealing people's identities and cleaning out their bank accounts in order to buy off a juror in her trial. Everywhere Allison looks she sees these people whose identity was stolen as the identity thief, Fred Rovick. Diedrich Bader does a wonderful job playing all of the characters, both male and female--even channeling Joe Dubois and Lee Scanlon. In the end, we even see him in a bikini. The psychological trauma of that experience aside, it is an unusual and entertaining episode.
