    Let's see, what did I like in this one?
    I guess the fact that Jordan and Woody are working together again is great.

    It's a copy cat case and they meet with the real killer so she can help them. The demands are a few and she wants to be in the field, to show them the places she buried the victims. She didn't killed 5, she killed 9 men. That empathy between Jordan and Kessler, looks like they understand each other, both mothers died when they were young and their dad's...well that's a different story.

    The fact that Kessler buried the victims in the same places her father had a mistress helped them to track them down but they were to late, she killed the copy cat Martin that helped her break out...

    When they showed Jordan back home I knew something was going to happen and then Kessler appear.
    She finally realizes she was a monster, she killed martin when he hadn't done anything to hurt her, she didn't wanted to kill him but she did, she was so sorry.

    I understand that, she looked for the person that could kill her, stop her. With a backup plan, Pollack.

    At the end everything ended OK, Jordan didn't killed her and Pollack was shot but OK.
    She is no killer...moreless

  • A psychotic killer is on her way!

    This episode was really great!
    The story was fantastic: A psychotic killer is already behind bars,but someone outside is copying her murders. The police needs to work together with the murderer to prevent more deaths. Unfortunately, killer and her copyer are working together, so that Jordan and Woody discover a lot of dead poeple on their way to the solution.
    Another great feature about the episode: Jordan and Woody. Everytime the two are on screen together, the viewer wants to scream: Will you please get together? But they don't, Pollack is in their way. But if you look closely at Woody's face everytime the name Pollack is uttered or everytime he sees Jordan kissing Polaack, the hurt is unbelievable. He really loves Jordan, but can't get the courage to tell her. This is almost killing me!
    All in all, a really great episode! Watch it!moreless

    This episode was one of the greatest. Jordan was able to see that her past actions werent exactly normal and she was displaying some tendancies of a psychopath serial killer. It clearly bothered her and the way she reacted to it, was just outstanding. Alicia Coppola as Kessler was a brilliant move by casting people, as she is so deliciously creepy and evil. I loved the way she bonded with Jordan and the viewer was able to see that Jordan connected to her as well though she denied it and in the end proved they were not all that similar. Outstanding. It was the way the old episodes were when Jordan was more wild and well more Jordan. More outspoken, more mentally unstable. Kudosmoreless

  • Woody and Jordan are drawn into the web of a devious serial killer, who has some home truths for Jordan.

    This particular episode reflects exactly why Crossing Jordan is such a good show. We are introduced early to the crime scene, a clearing in the woods where what is revealed later to be the first in a series of copycat killings. Dr Macy announces to Bug that this particular crime scene starkly echo's that of a serial killer. The thing I found particularly interesting about this episode was the fact that we were not even remotely led to believe this person was a woman.

    Of coarse, as a sideline to this main story, the J.D/Jordan/Woody triangle saga continues. As was only slightly aluded to last time, Woody clearly has a big problem with the new pairing of Pollack and Cavanaugh. This jealousy is quickly picked up upon by Kessler who appears to have decided that Jordan is her 'soulmate' of sorts.

    A devious con opperation staged by Kessler is quickly unravelled and the consequences only serve to highlight the new tension between Woody and Jordan... Interestingly Lu did not make an appearance in this episode.moreless

  • Dog found a buried man with his tongue cut out in the same spot as a different man was found a couple years ago. It was the first victim of the mask pike killer (Kessler) copycat or Kessler doing or a partner? What is it?moreless

    Victims are being drugged just like before. They go talk to Kessler in jail and she says I have no partner, I work alone but I will help [p you find who is doing this. They ask how and she says by showing them were they will kill next. We found all for 5 she says yes but there are 4 more out there.
    So Jordan, Woody, Kessler and some other cops go to the next drop site but are too late. They find out the copycat is a man. Kessler's father was a traveling sales man who cheated on his wife she killed herself and Kessler saw.
    At the seventh site they find a man dragging a body but it isn't the killer. They then figure out that they were all at the airport so they look at airport security tapes and find cooper. Martin Cooper is the copycat. They search his apartment and find the tongues.

    They get to site 8 and Cooper and Kessler escape and they find coopers body at site 9.
    They find letters from Kessler to cooper at cooper apartment and on the back find hidden messages written in vodka.

    Kessler shows up at Jordan's apartment were Jordan kills her before she pulls the trigger and shots Pollack in the head.
