I've always thought Lili Taylor was a very underrated actress. She proves her acting chops by not only effectively playing a blind woman but by capturing the vindictive and cynical nature. The plot of the episode isn't the greatest and it didn't end the way I would've wanted it to but the performances are what really make this a great episode. Imagine not only being blind but having to live your entire life through the eyes of your murderous, imprisoned father. In other words, you not only have to live your life without sight but your freedom is essentially gone as you live through the minds eye of a man in prison effectively imprisoning you as well. Taylor pulls off this difficult role perfectly, and in my opinion is one of the strongest guest stars to feature on the entire series. Normally I'd have given this episode a 7-8 but with her powerful performance I boosted it to a 9.
