So it's a normal day at CBI. Our heroes wait patiently in the security line to get into their offices, whispering about the people ahead of them, when a guy pulls in a bag of potatoes for the police. And when I say potatoes, of course I mean a dead body. There's a reason for the confusion, though. The man, Carl Reznick, is convinced that the bag is full of potatoes and nothing will persuade him otherwise. Using certain cues -- dilated pupils, steady heartbeat -- Jane quickly deduces that he has been hypnotized. Awesome.
