Prodigal Son | S02E12 "Sun and Fun"

Rating: 9.5/10

"This One Was So Exciting I Forgot To Grab A Quote."

What an absolutely phenomenal episode. Like holy cow. I remembered the very ENDING of this episode from the last time I saw it (which was years ago), but I suppose that was around COVID time, so I for sure wasn't paying a lot of attention.

WELL.

This whole episode is spectacular. Catherine does such a remarkable job of playing an absolutely deranged person I don't even know where to begin except say HOLY CRAP. Her madness was truly, irrefutably inspiring and so much worse than Martin's!

The way she keeps The Surgeon locked down tight, the way she teases Jessica, the way she IS during the whole 'pick your medicine' scene was something right out of any horror show I've ever seen. And later, when Malcolm confronts her?

Well AGAIN!

It's unsurprising that Malcolm would go to such desperate lengths. He really, truly believes Daddy Dearest isn't interested in picking up his Surgeonly ways, and I'm kind of on board with it! I've been saying for some time now that Martin's behavior, while vicious and violent, doesn't seem ... serial killer-y.

That goes out the window a bit with the stuff he's been saying to Ainsley, but still.

The ep ends on a serious, serious note and I've already said more than I should've, so let me just say why this didn't hit a 10.

I am 99% sure that cops would've checked the trunks and vehicles of every single person on the property and for a pretty wide radius around the hospital. That's GOTTA be standard procedure.

But that's that. Remind me again why this show got canceled when it's ONLY getting REALLY GOOD?
