5/10
This show is way too predictable

I had already my problems with the show right off the bat, it's a copy cat of Monk minus the humor. But as I watched more episodes, it's only getting worse...

Before I even watched this episode, I was guessing that they were gonna end the character Hightower. Because she had been gradually disappearing from the show, which is a shame, because I had thought she was a good character and the actress is good, too. When I saw the intro of the episode, I also predicted that Jane was in on it with Hightower and she wasn't actually kidnapping him. It's not because I am a genius or something, it's because this show has awful and very predictable writing. And the real bad thing is Hightower was one of the few things about the show that was kind of good, her relation with the core characters and her acting.

It's always a bad sign for a TV show when they write it on the go, instead of ahead of time, it is especially so for mysteries. Even at best case scenario, this show is a mediocre copy cat.
