So in this one we start out with Miriam Lass being recovered from the secluded farmhouse after what was it? Two years? Of being missing?? Crawford of course being the sole person who found her? Apparently the Ripper only cut off her arm and kept the rest of her. He needed that arm to make a phone call!!!
And her memory has been erased. Either chemically or surgically. She doesn't recall who it was that imprisoned her or took her arm.
Well anyways Graham is released! The obvious fact the Ripper is still on the loose is finally admitted by the wheels of the very fine justice system. LOL...he has to walk through the dunk tank room on the way out?? Now that's stupid. But here Crawford waits to give Graham 'a ride'.
And then it is back to business as usual! Crawford takes Graham to the location Lass was being held captive so Graham can 'process' the scene. Graham really has the knack for seeing the deep planning involved in Lecter's 'design'. Graham realizes that Lecter has really planned to pin this on someone else, like he pinned it on Graham for a while.
Graham finally returns home. Where Bloom awaits him for some reason.
Graham returns to confront Lecter in his kitchen, gun in hand. Graham apparently can get through locked doors unannounced better than anyone. Lecter is perfectly prepared to meet his fate, but Graham is not prepared to end it without answers, or without certainty.
Crawford takes Lass back to Lecter, to try to gain back her memory through hypnosis. So very ironic. The forensic team finds clues that point at Lecter and also Chilton. Crawford wants to question both. Chilton goes home to find a nasty surprise waiting for him. Lecter has set him up in a pretty horrendous frame up.
+1 Star for the Horrendous frame up. Perfect!
Chilton flees and seeks out Graham for help. Graham calls Crawford, who shows up at Grahams House, ALONE, again. Crawford amazes by showing up alone instead of bringing the cavalry, so many many times. It defies logic.
But he takes Chilton into custody when Chilton surrenders.
And Lass, her mind obviously at a breaking point, shoots Chilton through the interrogation room glass? LOL Okay now that is stupid. Not liking the lack of realism there.
-1 Star for that sequence. Come on now. We all know Chilton is destined for better things!!!! He can't have taken part in his final dinner party!!!
Then to top it all off, Graham returns to Lecter, and oh so nonchalantly requests that Lecter allow him to 'resume my therapy'.
Okay I was not really impressed with the logic process of this episode. 5/10
