Notes:
I kinda liked the beginning and ending of
this show. Everything in between is rather standard and routine of finding the
perp and then finding out why he is or isn't responsible. The beginning was
great because it showed the eventual suspect right there at the start under
serious stress or something. I liked the very ending also because there was the
usual "squeeze" that Jack tries to put in by getting one party to
roll on the other. In most cases, someone does find a conscience and squeals.
However, this time nobody blinks and Jack becomes frustrated. Yet I'm sure he
took pleasure in explaining to Dr. Barett about what will happen now with his
client ending up in a rubber room at Ossining and their method of treatment
compared to the good doctor. Again we see an example of a psychiatrist taking
advantage of two patients a la Promises to Keep. Rest assured the latter
ep is much more preferable.
I'm not going to bring
up of whether Olivet should have been brought in either to replace or
compliment Skoda. To me it might have been the same thing. But then with the
female angle being mentioned, who knows.
