    This one is really creepy and unusually good for the fourth season. Joanna Cassidy has a great role here and is thoroughly convincing. I won't give anything away One scene that works very well is watching Hutch slowly piece together a composite of the suspect with a rough sketch. There is great slow-motion photography and usage of kaleidoscopic effects for heightened suspense in the right moments. This will appeal to those interested in episodes with a darker edge.moreless
