The sight of Tim Roth in a floppy hat with a big slather of sunscreen on his nose was probably one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a while. In this episode Cal has practically been forced out of the office to enjoy a vacation with his daughter. But as we all know, in tv land this means the last thing he’ll get is a day off.
Cal is brought in on a case of a missing woman in Mexico. Once again I have to marvel at how a show about people who figure out if people are lying, is so compelling to watch. I guess it’s because we get to see so much more than that. Cal and his teammates, even his daughter, have to talk to many people to piece together just what happened.
As they get further into the case, Cal once again has a sparring match with his daughter. He hasn’t quite figured out how to protect his daughter without driving her completely insane. But in the end, the two of them always work it out, each allowing the other the freedom to act as a teenager and over-protective father, respectively.
While Cal is away, a former rival is called in to help with a case at his home base. The best part of this storyline was Cal’s reaction to the man and how he managed to get at the guy without even being there. Cal turning the sprinklers on from his laptop at the pool was hilarious.
Overall a great episode, featuring Tim Roth in a floppy hat. Need I say more?
