A very good one!

Really good. I liked how they pointed out the unfairness of the way ex-convicts (meta or not) are treated and how difficult it is to them to reinsert in society. I also liked Jaco's acting.

And I loved Joe and Barry's talk.

And I am glad they had Frost do something.

I found Iris acted quite professionally. I am thinking that Allegra does not deserve her supervisor position, but she is a good journalist/writer and should be doing just that. She was very unprofessional, but apparently she is quite skilled. I am surprised the other journalist at least was sincere with her and not pretended to accept her excuses and then stab her as soon as she had the chance.

Which I did not like was the team not trusting Barry and acting as if he was mental about Jaco. For starters, he was right in saying that nobody has even tried to look for another suspect. And when Barry found hard evidence in his favor (the identical heat signature) they dismissed him. They shouldn't have done it. As Barry pointed out, he had run a lot of cases like that one. That sort of experience gives you a feeling on the evidence. And Chester, I hated the part when Barry asked him to do some check and he looked as if he had been asked to do something bad and looked to Cecile as if asking her permission. Last time I checked, Barry was paying Chester's bill. He is his boss. Not hers.

I also did not like Harold and Jaco reconciliation in he end. It felt too artificial. The kid did not seem to care for his dad in all the time. Even after him saving a lot of lives, it made no sense that Harold was suddently so happy and emotional with his dad.
