I loved how Patrick annoyed everyone at the research center. And I loved how he handled the daughter of the murdered woman, how he told her to go and tell someone, a friend, what happened. That was really nice. The trick he played on them was really cruel and it just proved that for all his kindness, Patrick is actually a really cold, cruel and manipulative man. Also, loved that it wasn't the husband, that he didn't kill his wife.

I really liked Slocombe and I felt so sorry for him. But at least he found out that his son decided to do the right thing - yes, it meant little, but it was still better than the alternative. And their new boss - don't know what to think of her, she's just as manipulative as Jane. We will see how she turns out.

I like it that Patrick doesn't let Hightower ruffle his feathers. I also loved that Cho didn't see what the problem was with Rigsby and Van Pelt - as he said, the question was quite simple: What did Rigsby want more, his job or Van Pelt? And it turned out that he loved her more than she loved him. Curious.
