It's a very nice episode, very absorbing, with a likeable protagonist and some fine character-acting in minor roles by actors who are always fun to see. But it triggers one of my pet peeves in this kind of show. Which is: (SPOILER ALERT!!!! The next sentence I write will contain a BIG SPOILER!! Do not read if you want to watch it and guess how it ends!) A scalpel is not a good weapon for murdering someone. No hired killer would use a scalpel as a murder-weapon unless the target were already unconscious or already in restraints. Anyone who has ever handled a scalpel will laugh at the idea. The blade of a scalpel is very sharp, but also very easy to break, and very small. While you're trying to cut your victim with a scalpel, he'll be punching you in the face. This silliness is not unique to this particular show, it happens frequently in many shows, but it annoys me every time.
