Better episode than episode 8.14. Not perfect, but good. The best of course was continuation of the storyline with Adam and Jessie. There was more of this storyline than I expected (about 12 minutes), which makes me happy. Jessie is great! I liked he very much in the previous episode. But now I adore her. Great casting of actress for the role. And she has chemistry with Ian. Adam and Jessie are great as partners. And cliffhanger was perfect, though I suspected that it would happen in the episode 8.16 or episode 8.17.

Case of the week was solid, better than in episode 8.14. I did not expect a cult. The scenes between Vito, Steve, and Danny were very good and funny. The rest of his storyline was not so good. But as a character he is very cool, which does not surprise him, becase he is played by great actor.

Liked the episode. Not keen on Adam acting alone. To me he should have kept in touch with Steve about his plans. The restaurant story is getting old. Either get it up and running or cut their losses
