Just watched it yesterday on ION for the fourth or fifth time.. I found the whole setup with Lucas and Mason to be very improbable. First of all you have Lucas carrying out rather sophisticated crimes, although at least in the scenes with him, he seems too retarded to pull that off - not so much in terms of cognitive skills (there are plenty of dumb criminals), but in terms of behavior and speech. Unless his "retarded behavior" is some kind of "triggered regression", similar in part to the unsub in "Uncanny Valley" - but that seems a stretch.

Then there's the whole thing about Mason's "experiments" - which someone somewhere suggested was just a ruse of sorts to get Lucas to kill people. It's improbable to the point of disbelief that Lucas could have carried out anything that would be anywhere close to a "potential treatment" for SCI - the simplest thing I can think of would either be blood harvesting or extraction of the spleen and implantation into the cord, or injection somewhere close to the cord. Both require more than a small modicum of skill - either in how to drain blood, find a human spleen, or implant somewhere.

The biggest hole was the question of "how did Mason have a technologically sophisiticated setup" involving a breathing pump, the mirrors, his computer, etc, etc. set up for him?

But suspending that bit of disbelief, good episode.

It was moving a bit slow at first, but that was probably just them trying to make the episode stretch the full two hours.

And even if people hate the episode, everyone has to agree that the last two or three minutes was definitely worth watching...
