This was actually not a half bad story. All the hype and drama about one of their team members actually being a pyromaniac had me going for a second there. Then about 10 minutes in to it I thought, forget about what they say is going on. And look at what is actually happening. Forget about the whole government angle. It's all smoke. And forget about the whole mess about worrying about the guys previous record and what his cell-mate is going to say. That's all smoke. Think about what we do know. The fires were all in blue houses, 2 story, easy access to freeway. And . . . oh yeah . . . a garage that faces the alley. Well . . . all except the last house. In which our guy was caught. And, after which, there were no more fires. So to me that meant 1 of 2 things. Either they caught their guy . . . highly unlikely. Or the person that they were trying to kill got killed. And since she was a stay at home mom . . . I instantly thought . . . it's the husband. But I continued to watch the next 40 minutes of the show, only to have my suspicions confirmed. This one could've been a Close to Home or Criminal Minds episode. Wait! Scratch that. It wasn't good enough for a Criminal Minds episode. And what about our namesake here? Jane Vasco? May as well have been Urkle running around with the team, for all she participated. Ok. Yes she took a bullet or 2. But that happens on every TV crime show. Her . . . and her powers . . . were inconsequential to the episode. Which really . . . is to bad. She's a good character. She's a complicated, sexy character. She's actually the main character. But you would never know it from how the stories are written. My recommendation? Skip it! Unless there's nothing better on. But if you can find an episode of AFV or a Gilligan's Island repeat, which you've probably seen about 10 times . . . . skip it. The other show's are better.
