I wanted to like this episode. Earlier episodes have effectively looked at the idea of the cycle of violence and its poisonous fruits. In this case, the abusive father has become the abusive older brother, the mentally challenged younger brother who killed everyone who might bright up the family, the long suffering sister . . . Bailey's line "It's Christmas" was a nightmare cliche from hell. The episode wants to say something about family but can't figure out what.
The big Christmas party at Sam's house in the final scene left me cold; we're supposed to get a sense that this team has become a family; they put the star on the tree and launch into a carol.
The episode never clicked for me - it wasn't a bomb but it was far less than it should have been.moreless
AIRED:
It's 'Party of Five' run amok when the youngest member of an orphaned clan kills to keep his dysfunctional family together. The first murder occurs when they young man kills the boyfriend his sister is considering marrying. Her marriage would result in her leaving the family and that would be unacceptable. Throughout the episode, other people who pose such threats are quickly dispatched. Sam profiles the killer is someone who has felt loss and who is desperately trying to hold on to something he values. The VCTF eventually discover this decidedly unconventional family and at first, mistakenly believe the physically abusive eldest brother is the killer. Sam soon realizes, however, that there is another, more emotionally immature force at work. Bailey realizes his ex-wife is seriously involved and considering remarriage. Chloe is upset when Sam invites her new boyfriend, Paul, over for Christmas.moreless
