Will Trent – He Lives!

  • Title: Will Trent – He Lives!
  • IMDb: link

Believing his uncle to have been captured by one of James Ulster’s (Greg Germann) disciples, Will (Ramón Rodríguez) rushes to Puerto Rico to work with an FBI agent (Mallory Jansen) to rescue him. The episode offers the trademark comedic spots, including Will barging in on Antonio (John Ortiz), who hasn’t been taken yet, and his lady friend, before things get serious in a trek through the jungle and a twist (which, admittedly, is pretty easy to see coming). It’s not the strongest episode, but the story does allow Will to continue working through his complicated feelings about Ulster while also offering the possibility that a number of his crazed fans might be out there to do his dirty work from the grave.

FBI – Forgiven

  • Title: FBI – Forgiven
  • IMDb: link

“Forgiven” offers the return of recently paroled Ray DiStefano (Matthew Rauch) who is revealed to be behind the kidnapping of Erin Bell (Adrienne Rose Bengtsson) and later Maggie (Missy Peregrym) as well. The team comes together to help find Maggie’s missing sister, mobilizing across the city, and later Maggie when she is isolated and is taken by DiStefano who plans to give her a star she can’t hide. I’ll give the episode credit for not pulling its punches in the final moments allowing the villain, despite his apparent death, the victory he sought against his obsession who he blamed for the death of his father. “Forgiven” is the kind of episode you would expect to have ripples across the season and beyond.

Scarpetta – Bridge of Time, Part One

  • Title: Scarpetta – Bridge of Time, Part One
  • IMDb: link

Focused on stories nearly three decades apart, both Rosy McEwen and Nicole Kidman play Virginia Chief Medical Examiner Kay Scarpetta based on the character introduced in Patricia Cornwell’s novels. While Kidman plays the character returning to the job after being forced out years before, McEwen plays the younger version of the character tackling her first big case (which made her career but also appears to be linked to a new murder that calls the old investigation into question).
