Fun moments in this episode: John's reaction when Sara dismissively refers to him as a "handsome but indolent member of the leisured class", his mock proposal to Sara, and Laszlo's grimace over his whiskey -- unlike Sara, he's never acquired the taste for it. Also, Capt. Connor losing his badge and being left standing in the rain. It was really stupid of him to pull that wrong address move on Roosevelt.

Laszlo's still chasing his tail trying to understand why the killer does what he does. It's become more important to him than finding the killer. But he did have one good insight: the killer's use of the Christian calendar. Now the team has a way to predict the next killing.
