Goofs
In Lost Boys (2009), it's discovered through a DNA profile that Christine is related to the Trinity Killer. Miami Metro heads to her apartment to arrest her and knock on the door. As Christine is heading to open the door, she calls out "Daddy" (rather loudly) before opening. However, as Batista is interrogating her, he has records that reveal information about her mother, and since her father isn't listed, asks her who her father is, to which she replies that she never knew her father. Since both Deb and Batista were closely leaning at her door and the rest of the team were in the hallway quietly awaiting Christine opening it, everyone should have been an ear-witness to her calling out "Daddy", which would prove that she not only lied about never knowing her father, but that she was apparently expecting him at her apartment.

Disappointing writing and character development but convincing guest performances and edgy ending

Because of some spoilers I knew what would happen in this episode. It probably ruined half the suspense but I still enjoyed the ending. However I didn't like what Dex did because it wasn't original. Moreover it was under estimating some characters intelligence. The action wasn't also as tensed as in Lost Boys. But Christine's interview was interesting and her face to face with Deb very emotional. Otherwise I didn't like how some of their scenes were staged and doubt anyone would react like Deb did. Even Dex and Rita relationship wasn't covered properly and in fact I think the writers could have done a better job. Thanksfully John Lithgow's performance as Trinity was impressive and Courtney Ford did it again as his daughter. So to sum things up I think the ending and the two guest stars talent saved this episode. I was also disappointed that so much time was wasted to cover the Batista-LaGuerta mumbo jumbo again.
