Will air March 28, 2011, on USA at 11am (EST). The seventh episode of season eight. First aired June 7, 2009.
Written by Michael J. Chernuchin. Directed by David Manson
Guest Actors:
Luke Kirby as Andre Haslum
Piper Perabo as Calista Haslum
Lynn Redgrave as Emily Huntsford
Steve Whitting as George Buckley
Leslie Hendrix as Dr. Rodgers
Synopsis: Goren and Eames investigate the kidnapping of a toddler. But all is not what it seems.
Quotes:
Goren: “Actually, it’s Homeric Greek.”
Eames: “They have more toys than FAO Schwartz but they don’t baby proof the house?”
Eames: “That duffle bag is big enough to hold an eighteen month old child.”
Andre: “Children don’t die.”
Emily: “Do you have any idea what it’s like to have everything taken away?”
Queries:
Just what was Andre thinking? Is there anything good about this guy?
Did Calista know her daughter was dead?
Who is more guilty—Andre or Calista?
Will Andre go to jail? Calista? George, the assistant?
Would George have come up with the embezzlement plan if his partner hadn’t been around?
How soon did Goren suspect the child didn’t exist? How soon did he know?
Was Goren passive in this episode?
Why wasn’t Eames with Goren in the morgue at the end?
Where will Emily’s money go?
Does Goren identify with Emily?
Is this the saddest LOCI episode?
Comments:
There’s a tendency to group all of the episodes of later LOCI seasons as being not so good as the early days. But that’s not always true. This terribly sad story generated a lot of positive comments when it first aired, and it is a well written, generally very well acted tragedy. The parents could be better defined, but perhaps their ambiguity is part of the story. The late Lynn Redgrave, who was likely working with the knowledge of her own imminent death at the time, is wonderful as Emily Huntsford. Ms. Redgrave didn’t have a lot of lines or scenes, but she haunts the episode. Ms. Erbe is also a haunting presence in this story.
The most distracting element is how Robert Goren’s beard appears and disappears. His beard is thick and quick growing, but not that much.
Submitted, as always, for your comments and considerations.
