Brenda declares "Ok, now it's a murder." Fade to black...
This is the problem with casting on TV shows. You hire a high profile actor like Miguel Sandoval as the chauffeur and you know right away that he's the kidnapper. I kept expecting Allison Dubois to wake up any moment from a dream.
I guess he sent the money to his son located in some country with no extradition treaty?

I didn't really get why Brenda was not allowed to initially speak to the family. I know they said that the kidnapper's told them not to involve the police, but didn't they report the kidnapping to the police in the beginning and that is how they knew about the guy's disappearance and to start investigating it?
Is every episode now going to feature Brenda butting heads with the FBI or involving Fritz in some way? I guess they need to create conflict somehow since Brenda's team now respects her and has her back, unlike when the series first started.

Although I still watch it, I have to admit that this show has really gone downhill quality wise. It's easy to figure out who did it within the first couple of minutes of an episode usually, and now they seem to be introducing a teenage girl for no good reason (Brenda is going to be taking care of her for her brother, since the girl is too hard to handle).
Anyone else still watching?

I'm still watching and I somewhat agree. The storylines this season just haven't had the impact/intensity of the last few seasons and the cases do seem pretty obvious. I'm hoping things will pick up soon.

I still watch and like the show, but yeah it's very predictable. I liked having them bring in Mary McDonnell as Captain Raynor and I thought she was suppose to be a nemesis to Brenda, but that kind of fell flat on it's face. I hope there is a bigger payoff with Brenda and that serial killer lawyer we saw earlier in the season.

There are two more, since Sosie Bacon is supposed to be in the last four, and the final episode, -which I guess will be the payoff to the storyline, -will be directed by her father, Kevin Bacon.

5 more episodes left. However, the big quesion is if they will air consecutively. As Rfduncan mentioned, TNT might do some goofy scheduling and air episode 14 and 15 during the Holidays, which they have done in the past.

Hope to see them all in a row as well. I hate when they have a couple of episodes months after. It makes it difficult to remember any continuing storylines (like the lawyer killer, etc).

Nice to have it back even for only 3 episodes. TNT's scheduling of this show is just strange. Last year they aired 10 episodes during the summer and 5 in January/February. Now this year they air 12 in the summer in 3 in December.
