Vanished: Before the Flood is worth it taking its own sweet time

[tavm · 8/10 · 13 September 2006]

In this episode, we find Marcy is pregnant and that a year ago at a Christmas party, she was caught with a judge by Sara. Sara promised to not tell Marcy's father if she dropped the affair. This is when Marcy decided to go with Ben who was a waiter at the time. In present time, Ben now knows Marcy sent him to jail and won't talk to her. Agent Kelton picks up his daughter in church but not before she temporary disappears and is given a card with a church address. After daughter is given to woman who may be his ex-wife, Kelton gives card to partner who finds church no longer exists and is now a lake reservoir that was founded in 1996 which was around the time the mayor's wife disappeared. There is a grave of old Civil War headstones in the lake but among them is a modern casket...After last weeks action-packed episode, this one takes its time to move things along. Ming-Na's character seems to be better defined here after the first three episodes in which she seemed to be used mostly for exposition. Penelope Ann Miller does a good guest turn as the senator's ex-wife. Vanished keeps getting better with each episode. Here's hoping it gets picked up for the full season!
