The episode was rather disappointing. The story line has been built for quite sometime, now, and to have it concluded like this, I'm disappointed. There are too many things that did not add-up, in my opinion.
What kind of office that have a bio-mechanical security system, which glass windows is so easily break? I mean, maybe i'm wrong, but, a man with a medium built like Agen Walsh, breaking a glass window of a highly secured building, simply by being thrown by another medium built man, seems a bit impossible. And, no body saw or hear anything. NY is a very interesting place to live, then.
Why are Mac and Dunbrook acted that way to each other? It seemed like the two of them has a really bitter past. And to consider their interaction at 'Party is over', that kind of reaction seemed to be too much. And this make Mac not following the evidence now, but rather, his 'gut'. That's just plain weird.
Why risk your own son to do all the dirty work, when you have all the money in the world to hire a pro to do it? For Dunbrook Senior to have his own son do the dirty work, and for Dunbrook Junior to agree on that, i expected them to be smarter.
The two FBI (former?) agent risk their life to get that bloody flash-drive, 'simply' to get their name cleared? How important was that? Johnson got rid of Walsh body, lashed out his finger print, and then dump him in a place where it'll be easy to find? I thought an FBI agent will be cleverer than that. Didn't he knows that the crime lab people will be able to id him without the finger print. And, what makes whoever the FBI agent is, hands Mac the 'truth'? What about Johnson's death? What (or is it a 'who'?) caused it?
Sinclair suddenly get the warrant, after telling Mac that they do not have enough. Isn't that strange? And this politically driven man, sat down with Mac to try nail the politically benefitting guy. His character is confusing.
Even the way the team work is a bit careless than usual. Knowing that it is a (what do you call the subway's air escape again) through which any evidence could've probably fallen into the subway railway, why did the team did not search there? As for the flash-drive, what happen? Lost forever?
Now, will any of the questions i have be answered. I highly doubt it...
What will be slightly enjoyable, are the look in Stella face when the polar bear appeared, Sheldon's "Polar bear in New York? Global Warming is getting worse" line, and of course, Mac's reply to Dunbrook when the latter said tried to shoo him...
I'm still a fan of the show, though. I just hope, future episodes will be better.moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA- Goof: When Sheldon and Stella find the body in the water, there are marks on his face (both to the the right and the left of his nose) as if he fell on the metro grid on his full face. However, in the flashback he falls on the left side of his head. Edit
- Goof The Jello fingertips are found in the victim's stomach in perfect condition. However, the flashback shows the victim chewing them. Also wouldn't they be dissolved in the stomach acids? Edit
- Goof: When Hawkes shows Stella the two teeth he found at the crime scene, he states that there is an incisor and a bicuspid (premolar). When the camera zooms in, there is an incisor and a lower first molar in the container. Edit

Quotes
ADD QUOTES- Dunbrook: A man falls 20 stories, walks away. Boy, that'd make a good headline, sell a lot of newspapers. Mac:'Media Mogul Pushes Him' might sell more. Edit
- (The biometric lock smells like strawberry) Danny: (To Dunbrook) You eat anything on the way in? Toast? Fruit? Caviar on a jelly doughnut, maybe? Dunbrook: No. Edit
- Danny: Well, we got a biometric lock that smells like strawberries. I don't know, maybe Dunbrook pissed off a pastry chef? Edit

Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS- Mac: This guy thinks he's untouchable. The Untouchables (1987) is a film in which several "good guys" hunt down Al Capone and his band who thrive on the corruption of the American system. Chief Sinclair and Agent Park also reflect the actions of The Untouchables as they come forward and help Mac. Edit
- Mac: There's more than one way to hook a fish. They got Al Capone on tax evasion. Alphonse Gabriel "Al" Capone (1899-1947), was an American gangster of Italian descent who made a living through crime and smuggling during the Prohibition of the 1920s and 1930s. Edit
