A chase scene like no other

And the score is pretty amazing too. David and Herb Viola take a case while Maddie pouts in Chicago. The case involves a woman jilted at the altar (Amanda Plummer, daughter of actor Christopher). The episode has an unusually specific musical score with bits recalling Hitchcock and Flight of the Bumblebee. MacGillicudy's whirlwind marriage comes up again, and the chase scene is especially interesting. Not much light is shed on Maddie's relationship with her parents, except that they're awfully forgiving. Eva Marie Saint returns as Maddie's still gorgeous mom. If anyone knows which airport was used, please add it!
