Randy‘s (Caleb Foote) birthday and Franks (Kyle Schmid) growing agitation with too much change in his life anchor the episode where the NIS team looks to solve the death of a Marine found in an abandoned house in what appears to be part of some bizarre ritual. Believing he entered a similar case into the computer, Randy spends too much time in his search for Franks’ liking leading to a confrontation which also highlights Randy’s personality and making the best of a bad situation (even if Franks’ actions do manage to draw his ire).

In an episode that keeps several plates spinning simultaneously, “Lucky” features the return of Sherlock Holmes (Robert Carlyle) far sooner than I expected, but again only for a single episode. Spending a bit of time poking around Pittsburgh, Holmes stays with Watson (Morris Chestnut) and offers some advice on the doctor’s latest case involving a man in a coma ward suffering from undiagnosed locked-in syndrome who has witnessed multiple murders by an angel of death over the years.

Returning from a romantic weekend together, Cassandra (Kristin Kreuk) has an unexpectedly productive meeting with the Mayor (Marcia Gay Harden) whose troubled son looks to an ongoing problem, and, with the help of Holly (Dakota Guppy), who finds more examples, she continues to investigate more into the odd case of the same flowers being left over the years on graves and the site of the death (also leading her to reexamine the death of a friend in high school). Neither the larger case nor concern over the Mayor’s son is shared with her boyfriend, leaving both subplots to perculate over the remainder of the season.
