9/10
Three missing character credits
3 November 2022
There are three women who had speaking parts that are not listed in the credits.

1) Ann/Anne - tall brunette with short hair, red top - at the wedding reception, she offers Joe and Art some cake. Later, as Art and Norma are leaving she has some additional lines.

2) "Nurse" Kate Carson - who gives Art the drugs after Joe leaves.

3) The woman from the hypnosis demonstration who does the teapot imitation.

This is the second episode to deal with hypnosis. The first was a few seasons ago, where it is Peggy who was drugged/hypnotized into giving up the office safe combination. She ended up tracking down the man who hypnotized her.

As for Art being hypnotized to kill, that is not necessarily true. He did not have to be the one who pulled the trigger, just hypnotized into registering at the hotel under the fake name, and buying the gun. The ultimate perpetrator had the skills to use the rifle, Art did not even have to be present for the kill.

The ending location was unique, I don't think they had used it before. Much better than the old warehouse location used so many times in previous seasons.

Good episode, it keeps you guessing until the end.
