Marc is missing from this episode. Why??! 😭

Quite an interesting COTW especially the hypnotize part. They make the perp quite a sympathetic character.

It’s nice to know more about Simmons, his struggle to connect with Ellis after Daniel’s death and him seeking help to improve himself.

Another interesting bit is Max quoting Bruce Lee about being formless, like water. Formless means people should be able to grow, change and adapt to certain situations. We shouldn’t be trapped in certain mindset. Is Max no longer trapped in a mindset of a conwoman? We know George and her want “something” out of current arrangement.

I like the way this show tried to normalize therapy, especially for men with Simmons. I enjoyed learning more about each character's backstory. It's nice that Max is starting to get along a bit better with the other detectives/officers.

I do like that the show is showing different sides of their main characters each week.

Helps keep me involved instead of predicting the stereotype.

This episode had the highest rating of the season (605K), the Wild Cards TV series is doing really well by CW network standards.
