Goofs

Sarnov's food supposedly contained rat poison to "3 times the level of human toxicity". In reality, the poisonous dose (not level) not just depends on the poison but also on the size of the subject - an amount barely sufficient for a mouse will not harm a grown man. Seeing that the poison was sprinkled onto his scrambled eggs, there simply is no way at this stage to tell just how much poison he ingested before stopping to eat at the onset of symptoms.

Waiting On 'Eric' This Time

The final season episode - the only one that always leaves the viewer hanging was a decent one; not spectacular, but interesting all the way. It leaves us with Eric, this time, in big trouble and the rest of the team out in the swamps looking for him. Minutes earlier, he had been shot at by Calleigh! Go figure that one out!

Whatever, we get some closure from the season-long battle with "Ivan Sarnoff" and the Russian Mob. Everyone is involved in this, including "Yelinda" doing undercover work, and the mysterious father of "Deko."

Along the way, we get a scene very reminiscent of the movie "The Fugitive."

There was no medical examiner in this episode, so I guess the new one to replace "Dr. Price" will begin next season.
