**SPOILERS** Okay, my title was kind of a Bond ripoff; well... why not? Starting out with a little gambit we've all seen before, and will nodoubt see again. To wit: anytime the person investigating the crime scene tries to belittle or insult Patrick Jane, he tricks them into letting him practically solve the crime right in their grilles. In this case, he fixes up the cop quite nicely by describing the deceased's lifestyle, and then levels the Karma of a self-important Milf by first telling her that her Huz is unimportant, and then using her to self-direct (with subliminal clues), him to the murder weapon. It's a fast slide downhill for the bad guy from there on. Here's a problem I have. Having belittled the gorgeous lady he used (Laura Niemi), it would have been cake for him to graciously charm her into being his biggest fan, wouldn't it? He's a professional at charming people. I agree with another reviewer that Bosco is a snotty, arrogant twit, that thinks he's gonna best Patrick for Teresa's respect; NOT.

Cho once again comes down solidly in Jane's camp, and almost regrets it until he sees what Patrick's up to. They are clearly friends, albeit risky, and wary friends. This one was possible trespass, but Jane will slide out of that one, and cleanly solved. The daughter (played by solid actress Stacie Rippy), is given the understanding of her mother, but will they be able to keep their unbelievable house with that terrific view? Hope so. Absolutely a 10. P.S. "Lady Bullfrogs"?
