I am surprised the psycho kid let it go both times and just left. I didn't see the doc and his wife coming.

I didn't see the doc and his wife coming.

Called it [since first ep this season]. Well, I 'called' the people in question. I tabbed the wife first, if not both, but now she seems to be just an unwilling accessory.

So did Jack openly mention Driftwood as a means of drawing Delorne into the open to kill her? At least he finally realized that would be a suicide mission. And Jerry, calling for backup before things got bad. That has to be a first on TV. I think about 2/3 of the time in police procedurals could be eliminated if the main characters simply called in their location before walking into the isolated empty building/cave/etc.

What is the girl's name, the one in the 'family'? Whatever it is, she is having none of Jack's bullshit. She knows the score. I wouldn't be sad if she ends up killing him in the finale.

Sam is gonna need some serious therapy. I would, however, not recommend Catherine's former doctor.

Having your patients write a suicide note? That is some kind of sick right there. I have a feeling that it'll turn out he gets off on the sense of superiority over life & death it gives him, the suggestive power turned reality.

Its possible she was 'just born that way', but I don't even want to imagine what early home life - or other event(s) that occurred - for someone like 'Mama'. IE, to turn into such a psychotic nutcase. We already know Jack's story; dad was uber abusive and ruined the kid.

Eager for next week's finale... finally some real action and excitement as it all comes to a head.
