A journalist for a newspaper is found murdered in an apartment and Goren and Bishop start uncovering scandals at the paper she worked for. This episode is very close to being an amazing one and I do agree that it should have had a more focused story as another reviewer stated. As for the rest, I really liked the themes they conveyed in this episode and the plot's resolution, once it comes together, is really chilling once you find out who the perpetrator is. The antagonist is honestly one of the most hateful I've seen in "Criminal Intent". As for Goren and Bishop, their chemistry doesn't really mesh well but I honestly laughed at an interaction they had in a scene where they're at a diner.
Overall, "Pravda" is a really good episode mainly because of its plot (especially the resolution). I do miss Eames and Goren, Bishop does not have much chemistry with him in my opinion.
