San Francisco dating agency Symphony's CEO John Flynn (48) was twice shot in the chest fatally and dumped in a marina. Patrick immediately suspects slick, young widow Erica Flynn. He first tests her getting recruited as client but finds her alibi hard to crack, so he goes for an accomplice, with an apparent tragic consequence. However the team also investigates his ex, blackmailed client Henry Cliff and dubious staff. Wayne's an undercover job gets a romantic follow-up. Written by KGF Vissers
Finally caught this in reruns and kind of wish I hadn't. The episode had a great build-up with Jane facing off with a suspect that also makes her living analyzing personalities but the ending just fizzled. She was intelligent, stoic, and organized right up to the finale. They really cheated their way to a victory here plot-wise unnecessarily. Can we not have a guaranteed collar every week? Knowing that the good guys will always win takes the fun out of it. That may be fine for a CSI crowd where all logic takes a leap out the window but this show is better than that.
The B-plot with Rigsby was okay, if again more big doofus stuff from an actor that deserves better (check his biography). Good work from Cho who reluctantly if tartly offers dating advice.
Nice to see Morena Baccarin looking human as well.
