1x07 Blood Relatives, written by Chip Johannessen and Charles Holland, directed by Jim Charleston.
quote
This generation is a wicked generation; it seeks for a sign, and yet no sign shall be given to it...
-- Luke 11:29
Someone is crashing funerals, taking souvenirs and killing attendees.
Another serial killer procedural without much Millennium content, although Peter Watts is on hand. More involvement by Catherine doing her social work support, which is good. We need more of her.
It's not a good ad for group homes. Only Catherine is concerned for the lost children.
The crimes are awful but the intensity of the series has dropped off.
Remember when Frank and Catherine promised Jordan they would live forever? Now:
quote
- Catherine: I know. I know you had to go in there. Because of
- who you are. Because you had no choice. Frank, I can't lose you.
Frank: I'm not going anywhere.
Catherine: Promise me?
[Frank nods. The ambulance's siren wails].
Catherine: I don't want to ask myself "am I strong enough to be alone".
Frank: It's okay. Nobody is.
Which is malign fate hanging in the stars: the end of season 2.
First episode written by Chip Johannessen, who will be much involved later.
