Absolute Acting Bliss...
cchase17 April 2008
Just when I was beginning to think that with the exception of some really juicy moments, Angelica Huston's short run on MEDIUM would be a waste of powerhouse acting talent. Well, this two-parter might have been the reason why she agreed to do the series, because her performance in Part Two of this story practically SCREAMS "Emmy." Angelica's Cynthia Keener goes from being a total witch with a capital "B", to letting down her guard and showing you the reason for Cynthia's hard-shelled exterior...to protect a heart that's been torn in two by the pain of a terrible tragedy and the regrets surrounding it, and finally the devastating denouement, when a grieving mother seeking justice decides to find it in the only way possible.

Everyone deserves a huge pat on the back for this one. This was one of MEDIUM'S bigger grand slams.

Another top-rate episode

Warning: Spoilers
I agree fully with reviewer cchase. This was a powerhouse performance by Anjelica Huston, her character controlled and then exposed in exactly the right way. I would have liked to see more of Cynthia over the following few years: for all her sharp edginess, abrasiveness and aggressive character she is essentially a loveable soul, shaped by external events into the character we see here, generally rational but prepared to kill to avenge her family. The episode also carries forward the storyline with Joe and his strike for independence.

They had evidence of JoAnna's guilt.
Ide-Clair11 November 2018
Joanna's mother said she'd been with her daughter a few days before her "rescue" . The other victim, Melanie Linder, the person JoAnna was supposedly held captive with, could have testified that they had been together during the period JoAnna was with her mother.
