    Awesome !

    This episode had a really good twist that I didn't see coming until the reveal. I loved the build-up and how it started at the end.

    Standout

    As individual episodes go, this was the best of them all. At it's core it's straight forward and simple, but the way the story unfolded made it the most unique of the series so far, and it was the first in which the plot twist was truly surprising. Kudos to the writers and director.

    A real shocker, in more ways than one

    This was one of the best individual episodes of a show on network television I have seen in years. This show and this episode was twisted in so many ways, but in a way that tells a intriguing story.

    Without giving too much away, saying this episode was a shocker is a twist on one of the themes of this episode, as well as referring to the shocking twists at the end of the episode.

    So much on television are the same old stories recycled. Criminal Minds for example is a serial killer of the week where good guys catch bad guys. So far every episode of Prodigal Son offers a new twist beyond the typical themes.

    Firstly...

    ....I spend too much time on here. Secondly, WOW...I wrote about the last ep and said I hope they find their footing after that ep.....guess I didn't have to wait long!! If you haven't watched it yet, P*SS OFF...what are you doing?!?! GO NOW. Possibly the best ep yet.
