B-
The case was interesting, although it was pretty predictable. I didn't mind that Mac had a connection to the case at first because it would make sense he'd remember investigating a big child abduction case, but when it became personal with him visiting the family after Michael came home it was just too much. Why must everything be personal for Mac?
It's no secret that I dislike Lindsay, but it really bugged me that she had to carry the idiot ball for the entire episode. First she makes the stupid comment about not being aware that something bad can happen to someone at any minute - I mean, really, Lindsay? You work for the friggin' crime lab and you survived a random, mass murder as a kid. You of all people should be acutely aware that anything can happen to anyone at any time. Then she acts like she can't make simple connections in the case (Michael taking the last name of his abductor for one example) without Mac or Jo having to explain them to her.
And I just have to say that I like it better when Danny and Lindsay don't work together. Let them have their little random married interactions during the day, but that's it. Lindsay is much more tolerable away from Danny.
I liked Jo "mothering" Sid with the glasses, but overall she kind of bugged me this week because she was most often the person who had to explain stuff to Lindasy like she was a moron. Don't get me wrong, I still think Jo is awesome overall, but this week she had a toe over the line to irritating.
I kept thinking Flack wasn't going to appear in the episode but be mentioned in every scene.
That was kind of weird that they mentioned him 847 times before we saw him, but I found it amusing.
I really liked John Laroquette's interactions with Gary, even though there was nothing new about the "Mac butts heads with a superior" stuff shown in this episode. I'm curious to see how the rest of his arc goes.
