The writers of the The Following are completely oblivious to just how uninteresting the character of Agent Mendes is. Turns out she’s not a clone of Parker, not anymore. She’s just annoying. What should’ve been an interesting twist has just become another ordinary scene, due to the fact that it couldn’t have happened to a less interesting character.
Otherwise, this was a good episode. Everyone loves a good cat fight, and that’s what everyone got as Max faced off against Gisele following the murder of Lily Gray’s lawyer. Max is shaping up to be a great character; not just for being a badass, but her conversation with Weston shows her reliance on Ryan. Speaking of Weston, it’s hard to tell whether to feel sorry for him or not. He clearly cares about Ryan, and the fact that Ryan won’t let him in or help is hurtful. But, Ryan is awesome on his own; his jibes towards Mendes and the FBI agents trailing him are just hilarious. He finally gets arrested this episode, however he’s released soon after.
