The bad news? Elle ends up on a train with a psych patient who loses touch with reality. The good news? The people on the train had a BAU member with them. Why? Because for some reason, instead of flying into Dallas, she flew 637 miles southwest of her destination, to El Paso, and backtracked on a train to Dallas. And - call me slightly obsessive, it's okay, I had to look it up - the train only leaves El Paso at 9am on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. I couldn't find a flight that would get her in early enough to make the train. The cheapest flight I found? Connected in Dallas.
And the pregnant girl - you're telling me that there wasn't another clinic within 637 miles of El Paso other than Dallas?? I know Texas is conservative, but seriously... Terlinguia is 300 miles from El Paso, 585 miles from Dallas.
Round trip ticket to El Paso: $285, 6 hours.
Amtrak trip from El Paso to Dallas: $105, 29 hrs, 30 minutes.
Being on a train in the middle of Texas with a delusional psychotic: Priceless.
(actually, according to the audio commentary on the DVD, it was so Lola Glaudini could work with an actor she admired, so I guess that's what was priceless!)
