When Tracy is given a three-day leave after shooting a perpetrator, Nick works alone on a grisly murder investigation. However, Tracy ignores her orders and goes undercover at an escort service, putting her right in the sights of the killer. While Nick enlists the help of an infamous serial killer to try and find the killer, Tracy just might be the next victim.

This episode is simply a rehash of silence of the lambs. The killer who takes the head and hands of his victims is simply a revisualization of buffalo bill from SOTL. Where as the prisoner is a psycho-analist (of sorts) much like our friend doctor hannibal lector. Although there are some similarities, the differences are nice too. Instead of sending Tracy in to talk to him, Nick must face his own inner demons and be "analyzed" by the good doctor, although the doctor is really a taxodermist. Really, it is sort of a good take on SOTL without being exactly like the movie. Good Job to the writers.
