Brilliant second half of a two-parter!

"Perfect"

By MeandtheFarmer, Apr 09, 2007

I love this episode ... it starts with an action spectacle in a shopping mall where Fraser rescues Christina from certain death. His way of using a sleigh is remarkable.

Ray and Fraser act together in this second half because Ray finds out that they are actually working on the same problem. Ray is trying to catch the killer who is looking for the list and Fraser tries to protect Christina from the very same man who thinks that she posses the list.

And the list is still on the loose ... going from one person to the next and no one pays any attention to the scriblings inside the matchstick package.

"Christina" is really a good asset to the show. I enjoyed her acting. She is a teenager, a rebel, and a very afraid child.

Overall ... watch both parts it's a great way of "wasting" time. ;)moreless

- Christina Nichols: You don't expect me to go to the ball without an escort, do you? Benton Fraser: Well I'd love to, but I think if I showed up with you, your father would have me cashiered.

- Christina Nichols: You told me to stop running. Benton Fraser: Yes, but I was talking about running away from the problems with your father. This is about running away from someone who quite probably will shoot you. That's an entirely different thing.

- Gerome: Hey, how you doing, young lady? You having a good time? Ray Vecchio: Heads up. Gerome: Oh no, not him again.

- Christina Nichols: What were you running away from? Benton Fraser: Oh, it was a very tortured scenario. It involved a gold mine, a boomerang and a tank full of gasoline. It's all ancient history, though.

ADD ALLUSIONS
- In this two-part episode, there are three allusions to the term "McGuffin" (first popularized by Alfred Hitchcock in a 1939 lecture at Columbia University): Mrs. McGuffin (the housekeeper at the hotel); Mr. McGuff (the janitor in the basement); and C.M. Niffug (department store security in part 2). The "McGuffin" itself in the episode is the matchbook.
