~ Excellent Wendy stuff in this episode. It was quite refreshing to see her out at a scene, and her scenes with the cat were cute. Her comments on loving jigsaw puzzles reminded me so much of the Pilot where Catherine was talking to Holly Gribbs. I hope we get to see more of Wendy like this.
~ Great to see John Schneider again, although I didn’t really like him being a sniffling, whiny washed-up actor. However, I think his acting was wasted here with having just a small part.
~ The ‘rewind the tape’ sequences they did between each storyline has become totally overused on this show. This entire show was too much like Season 5 “4X4”.
~ Interesting first half of the episode, boring second half. I thought the three cases intertwining could have been made more interesting.
~ What was the deal with the long maggot trail that the maid was trying to clean up outside the motel room - other than for the maid to find the body? I thought they’d come back to that at some point.
~ adding the cat and the tortoise for a bit of humor was cute.
~ Poor Super Dave with his bad back. It was funny to see he was having a bad day. Haven't really seen that since the "werewolves" episode.
