Cracking end to the season break - that was some creepy stuff in the old woman's house!!!
It was nice to see my old buddy from the show Gotham. Even if he didn't last long...
There was a very suspenseful atmosphere in this episode that I liked. It felt fitting and not pointlessly exaggerated or unneeded. And the cliffhanger was expected. There didn't necessarily have to be one, but I don't see what else could've been a cliffhanger. Hopefully, enough interest will remain for people to stick around.
Jessica is getting more and more narcissistic with each episode...
Now she stole evidence from an active FBI investigation and disclosed it to the press. I'm sure that counts as obstruction of justice and theft of federal property, punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
I bet nothing will happen to her though because she's a wealthy, white woman...
And what the hell was Colette's misandristic riff at the beginning? At least I'm glad Malcolm's profile of the Junkyard Killer was right after all.

Now THIS was a good episode. It's a shame that Michael Sheen couldn't be a part of it because he's such a delight as Martin Whitly. It's still with moments so stupid they could only happen on Prodigal Son still even the description does it.
No he doesn't. He actually complies with the FBI wishes. It's doing the work on a completely unrelated case that leads him to find out that the cases are directly related. And then to watch the FBI profiler complain about him not staying off her case when he did is just silly.
Ainsly decides that airing the Martin Whitly interview is her "taking control of the narrative" and "telling her own story". This is both stupid and wrong. She was much more relatable in the hospital talking about how she wanted a piece of the action and how she's been denied knowledge of her father her whole life. I LIKED that Ainesly but here she comes off as petulant.
Bringing it home of course is Bellamy Young as Jessica Whitly. Who decides to get some agency and actually takes control of the narrative and maybe from a certain perspective actually tells her own story. She was brilliant. It was emotional and it felt earned.
There's also an A story with Bright discovering a killer's childhood home with twists and stuff but whatever, the only surprise there is that they weren't being poisoned like I thought they were. Bellamy Young has been low key carrying this show when Michael Sheen isn't around.
