Well....I may not be too fond of Julia, but I don't want Ron Saris to lay his dirty hands on her either......

Opening has shades of "Fargo" with someone going through a wood chipper. Ugh --- bloody mess. Plot centers around the victim who was a plastic surgeon. Apparently he was a good one until his wife died and he began making women over in her image. Ron Saris also shows up as one of his patients, having been badly burned in a boating accident --- are we surprised? He's great, calling Horatio "Red" and Stetler "Stetz"! Yes, Stetler makes a rare appearance trying to convince Horatio that Ron is off limits and he has to go along with him because he is feeding the department important drug related information. You can imagine how thrilled Horatio is about that; He is worried for Julia and warns her to be cautious.

Returning to the murder, it seems the plastic surgeon was supplying wigs to his fair ladies. The wigs were sub standard because they were made from the hair of people who had already died. Creepy-crawly things were in them. Was this a motive for murder?

Promo showed Calleigh embracing Eric --- this was not in tonight's story. Their togetherness was totally professional and unremarkable.

Frank had a cute moment when the mother of one of the suspects entered the interrogation room: she really knocked his socks off and left him stumbling for his words --- a situation not lost on Calleigh who appeared amused by it all.

Horatio worked the lab a bit, Kyle worked the morgue but the two did not meet.

Solid story here, interesting enough and obviously leading up to the end of the season. The last couple of minutes were intense and unexpected. Unfortunately it will be two weeks before we find out what has happened to Julia.

I wasnt too impressed David did do awesome where he was in the show but I thought the whole ordeal with Ron was slow - and like... I dont know I just wasnt impressed... and now theres no episode next week which kind of pisses me off -

Seeing Horatio in the lab again was really nice - I cant wait to see what he does about Julia - since it seemed that at the end they where in the past and future of the incident at the same time which made no sense...

I noticed they tried some new graphics techniques with the video - like pulling the pieces of the videos in squares together and whatnot so yeah..

but all in all I wasnt impressed..

I loved the Fargo add-in there. It was a good movie, and it was interesting to see the whole wood chipper thing in Miami. Though, I wouldn't want to be working that kind of scene. x.X Messy. Anyway, I thought the episode was okay. Plotwise it wasn't as good as I thought it would be but overall it was Horatio I was paying attention too. XD [Plus, the lab time -- that was good.]

The ending was confusing for me and I just hope the next episode actually goes into what went on there.

Just my two cents.
