I loved the reactions of Sydney and Parker to the tepee guy's offer of a hug. Sydney took it readily and smiled, and Parker said, "I have a gun and I will use it." Sydney and Parker, don't ever change.
Hee! They're sort of perfect, aren't they? :)
The psychiatrist guy brought in to interview the suspects had some interesting techniques, esp with Broots. Were the little hop-scotching girls experimental subjects, or children of staff coached to behave as they did?
Brrr, that was creepy, wasn't it? Even before Broots cracked there...
And good for Parker, grabbing his camera and pointing out to Raines that if she'd shot at him, he'd be dead.
I'd forgotten the wonderful violence in this episode. Man, Parker is excellent.
I suppose Jarod found him doing something very unethical and threatened to expose him unless he did him a favour, but that sounds a little unlike the Jarod we know who is so concerned with justice. Hmmm.
Hell, yeah. DO we ever find out about it? Or who Jarod's guy thought it was, and who it actually was? I don't want to know, just whether we find out. :-)
Jarod has a very idiosyncratic take on justice...
He does usually ensure that the criminals are caught and tried though. I wonder how he got Lyle to pick his guy.

He usually gets confessions in a way that makes it completely legally impossible to ever put people on trial! He pretty clearly considers himself both judge and punishment.
Well, in some cases he mails off evidence, but yeah, good point. Maybe what his guy did was more minor than most crimes he punishes (an affair with a patient, using privilieged info about the share market, that sort of thing).
I should now go and make dessert and open the dessert wine and watch something, perhaps animated Star Trek.
and his nametag reading "Shatner". He's obviously already discovered Star Trek too. :-)
Or maybe he was watching T.J. Hooker or something. :)
I wonder what Jarod has on him. He hasn't been in a previous ep, has he?
I'm pretty sure we hadn't seen him before, no. And we really don't know why he's working for Jarod. Was there a line in the episode about Jarod having something on him, or was that just an assumption? I don't remember, myself. Clearly, I do need to watch these again! RSR's right, though. Jarod's notions about justice and ethics are idiosyncratic, and don't necessarily line up with what's legal. And I think there are really only certain sorts of wrongdoing that he actually cares about, anyway.
The guy implies that. I can't remember the words at all, but they implied that he was paying Jarod in some way, and it didn't seem like it was in return for a favour. Pity there are no transcripts--or are there?
I found this site, and they say: "TWENTY-FOUR HOURS LATER, in the wharf district in San Francisco, Dr. Curtis brings his finding to a warehouse where a figure is waiting for him in the shadows. He tells the figure that he did what the figure asked him to do: he told Mr. Raines that he was unable to determine, exactly, who had done the shooting in Boston. Curtis then hands the figure a black folder in which, he says, are his REAL findings. Apprehensively, Curtis tells the figure, "So... we're even." The figure steps out of the shadows. It is Jarod -- or someone who looks exactly like Jarod. He answers Curtis with a flat, "...For now..." and withdraws into the dark again. Shaking and sweating, Curtis breathes a nervous sigh before leaving the warehouse."
Looks like Jarod is blackmailing him or something like that.
Ah, thanks! That's handy! I did find another site with some episode summaries somewhere, but I've been avoiding doing too much googling around for info on the show, because it's so easy to accidentally run across spoilers for the darned thing.
But, yes, it certainly seems that Jarod has something on him. What is an interesting question. Maybe it's something involving Centre politics...

Yeah, I'm being very careful what I look at on that site. So far just the summaries for eps I've already seen, some of which are better than others.
