A very good episode, with loads of tension all the way through. It kept me focussed on the vials strapped to Grace and the search to find her. All the main cast were allowed to show off their talents, although Raven's task as comforter didn't give her much screen time. The reconciliation between Avery and Grace's mother was touching, and opened up scripting opportunities for (the never to happen) season three, as did the interaction between Elijah and Miguel. I have a couple of issues that mark the episode down a point. Try as I might, I cannot feel that the casting of Evan Jones as Python was right. Evan Jones did his best, and it was very good and menacing and unhinged, but for me the character did not come across as the intellectual IT super-villain required by his exploits. My other quibble is, how has Hollywood not managed to get actors to understand the difference between a "coup de grâce" (a merciful stroke or killing blow) and a "coup de gras", whatever that means. A fat shot? A slice of fat? An overambitious plastic surgery procedure? Who knows? Whatever, the production teams and actors should have learned enough by now to get it right!
