It just didn't do it for me.

"Mediocre"

By mccar29, Sep 27, 2011 Report Abuse

I have to say, though I really like this show, this episode was a bit of a disappointment. I have been struggling this season. I miss Allison working with Scanlon and Devalos. They were such a great team. Frankly, I'm not clear about why they are not together. Devalos was forced to take a vacation because it came out he was using a psychic and they were all discredited when it seemed Allison was wrong. BUT- Allison used her abilities to solve it all and prove them all wrong. Doesn't it seem that Devalos should now be able to come back? Anyway, back to this episode. I'm sorry - not a good story line. If the father was covering up a murder for one of his daughters, why would he hire a psychic. Better yet, why would his attorney let him? The attorney hires her but then stops her when she tries to share her dream? Allison - who has this tremendous sense of right and wrong - never reveals the true killer, does nothing to save the innocent man, and tells the real killer "I'll be watching you."???? Really??? Did I miss the episode where Allison had a labotomy and her personality was altered??? It just doesn't work for me. I expect better from this show.moreless

"Perfect"

By sfviewer, Apr 03, 2008 Report Abuse

Allison dreams about Larry Watt coming to her rescue. She visits the office of Devalos who is now practicing law again but on a private level. Allison accepts a small defense job for Devalos, since she's desperate for an income, she takes it. Everything's fine until she comes to work and finds out that it was actually Larry Watt who hired her. Watt asks her to get some sense from a defendant, at first it seems like he's a normal guy, but she finds out soon enough that there's something darker that she finds very troubling. It's a really cool episode, it doesn't end like the other episodes, but it's still a very interesting episode to watch.moreless

"Superb"

By sosoCraig, Feb 26, 2008 Report Abuse

Allison agrees to take on a case where a client is presumed to be guilty but Larry Watt is trying to mount a defense on his behalf. He brings Allison in for her "ability" and at first Allison thinks the client is guilty. Meanwhile, Ariel wants a make up case and earns the money by doing a reading for a fellow classmate. The episode was good by all means but half way through it I knew who the real murderer was. The ending was unexpected with the real murderer getting away and the client pleading guilty. I hope that the next episodes are better written than this one was. It's not good viewing when you know who the murderer is before the script reveals it.moreless
