Oh, finally. Another episode where the theme was the most interesting part of the show. We had a case, and Patrick was up to some of his normal tricks (if scarecrow didn't have you in stitches, have your funnybone checked), but we got a real taste of how intense Patrick Jane can be. Using Moby Dick as a parallel, the question of justice versus vengeance comes up, and redemption to be found in revenge a la Captain Ahab. I know, it's some pretty deep shit, but stay with me on this one.
