Episode Summary

EDIT

Martin tries to locate Arthur Teller's mysterious workshop and ends up playing high-stakes poker with another professor. Meanwhile, a young man in Italy is assisted by a video blogger who creates a viral video to track down a woman the man had known only briefly. A city slicker who plans to sell off his dead father's ranch in Australia learns a lesson from a horse that makes him appreciate the country life his father chose. Much to Martin's chagrin, Martin's sister-in-law, Abigail Kelsey, visits Clea and Jake at the boarding facility.

Major mistake in this episode

7.0

By ethereal_fire, Nov 30, 2012

Some people commented on a mistake in the numbers on the blackboard (which I think was actually intentional as Jake fills it in later on in another episode), but the MAJOR error in this episode that bothered me greatly was that Martin found an unconscious man and responded ENTIRELY wrong. First finding someone unconscious and being unable to walk them is a very serious life threatening situation and he should have immediately called 911 not pressed redial. Secondly, when a diabetic is unconscious a hypoglycemic crisis is WAY more commonly the cause than a hyperglycemia one. If hypoglycemia is the cause then injecting insulin would have killed him. NEVER INJECT INSULIN INTO AN UNCONSCIOUS DIABETIC!!! This is a major flaw on the part of the writers and I am surprised that no one corrected that before it got to production. (I seriously hope that there are no diabetics in the crew for this show! Cause apparently no one there is properly trained in first aid!) What Martin should have looked for would have been glucose tablets (not that that is a proper response either as you really shouldn't try to put anything into an unconscious person's mouth) Giving sugar to someone whose blood sugar is high is far less dangerous than giving insulin to someone who's blood sugar is to low. Not to mention that insulin needs to be carefully regulated and not just injected by someone who doesn't know the proper amount to give! The what he should have been injecting IF he was going to inject anything would be glucagon not insulin...

End of the series for me

1.0

By JamieMacLeod1, Nov 29, 2012

"Science can't explain it but religion can... it's called prayer" I think Sutherland should go back to killing people in spy shows.

"This number sequence is an algorithm"

"We can't see the patterns in nature" Actually... we are really really good at this.... Fibonacci's book was written 1202.

The show want's to use science when it's convenient or sounds good to do so, but is primarily a subtle anti science show.moreless

Noosphere Rising

By TrueTvWatcher, Sep 19, 2012

Noosphere Rising was a perfect episode of Touch. This episode had amazing stories and lots of feel good moments. It was interesting to see Abigail who came to seek custody of Jake to protect him, though she didn't say from what. A little air of mystery was definitely in the air. I liked how Clea was protective of Jake. Martin goes on a quest to discover Arthur's work and meets interesting people tied into other plot lines. I loved Natalie's story the best and how she found her love after all. It was funny to see city slicker son trying to ride his fathers horse. I love the way this show makes you feel when viewing it. I look forward to watching what happens next!!!!!!!!!moreless

Very good episode! But I also noticed that mistake. :)

Well I also picked up on the mistake that Martin should've written the number 6 prior to the 1188. :P It's a shame they messed that up, because the rest of the episode was rather flawless.

I thought the story with the video blogger Natalie was really very cute and well done! I love how it went and how it ifinished!!!

The other storylines were also good, and I enjoyed the poker scenes. The story with Logan and Stacy were well done,, and I wonder what Martin will discover in Teller's place!

Also, Sarah's sister shows up, and that could complicate things... should be interesting for sure!

Keep up the high standard of episodes, Touch!!! :)moreless

8.0

By SDG, Apr 30, 2012

I like the show and this episode. Was there a mistake? Should Martin have written the numbers 6 1188 instead of just 1188?

- Jake: (closing monologue) If two points are destined to touch, the universe will always finds a way to make the connection. Even when all hope seems lost, certain ties cannot be broken. They define who we are and who we can become across space, across time, along paths we cannot predict nature always finds a way.
