Yes, Laura, how does it feel to be a dead woman?

Warning: Spoilers
That's the question of this episode's airdate, 9 minutes and 50 seconds in, from Roger to the woman claiming to be Laura, witnessed by state trooper lieutenant Vince O'Brien and Elizabeth, and additional questions to her do seem to indicate that she is Laura, knowing details of her marriage to Roger that only a wife would know. O'Brien has indicated that dental records prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the body in Phoenix was indeed Laura. A rather dull conversation between Frank and Victoria leads them for some reason to a house by a cemetery, all because of Victoria's sudden smell of jasmine, and her claim that they are going where they should be going.

Part dull, somewhat intriguing, this is great as part of a marathon viewing of episodes in sequence, but I wouldn't be too much interested in tuning in tomorrow had I watched the episode solo. The wait to get to this sudden house of mystery takes to long, even in a 20 minute episode, but the last second for those who are patient will leave with some intrigue. It's one of those episodes where'd you say to yourself, "This better be good."

A bit mundane

Warning: Spoilers
While Episode 152 ended on a decent twist, Episode 153 squanders the potential somewhat by focusing on a police procedural-style format which comes across as a bit mundane. Things only really pick up at the climax, with Victoria randomly visiting a fog-enshrouded graveyard.
