Excellent but tragic tale of misguided emotions.

This is a lesson in why it is a big mistake to let our emotions guide our actions. Mr. Johnson, the self designated avenger from part 1, takes actions that lay the groundwork for the demise of several people. At least one of them who had no part in the killing that will result.

He could not have known what would be the results of his mission to repay Mr. Parker for killing his "family". People he cares about get hurt because of him. He ends up being a suspect of murder. Then, rather than allow the law to resolve the whole mess, and I think it might have worked out well, he decides to run for it. That decision only magnifies the harm already done.

Very good episode.
