Higher stakes, and development of the Sci-Fi, lend a helping hand to this episode being slightly better than the previous. I of course know each episode won't improve over the last. So I'm not expecting some stuff from this episode to be addressed further, immediately. But now we're into spoilers of the Sci-Fi element, and how it has been developed in this episode.
His soon to be ex-wife meets him at his new new place (referencing my review of the pilot, if you wanna check it out.) She says she found a book with his name in it, he doesn't remember it. After tossing it in the trash, he gets home at the end of the episode and finds it sitting there on his table. A bellhop or doorman had found it, and put it there.
Now for the REAL spoilers...he's flipping through, and finds a section about newspapers. This book seems to be about key moments in Chicago's history, that are overlooked. In that section about newspapers, he sees a...printer? A guy who makes or writes newspapers or something. Next to that guy, is the orange cat he adopted. That cat came with the paper every time last episode, until he finally let it stay with him. Now, there's no exact confirmation it's the same cat. Let alone dialogue, this final scene has no speaking from Kyle Chandler.
I see it as, he has found the guy that makes the newspapers. But will he find the guy? Will the guy know he's got clairvoyance, essentially? Will he want his cat back? All we know for sure, is that cat comes with the paper, and that guy used to make the paper. I'm super curious to find out more about this guy, and learn what he knows. I'm just hoping by series end, everything is explained. Also, that the ending is good, and a real ending. I don't think this show was cancelled, or if it was, I don't think it was cancelled without warning.
Come along on my journey of reviewing the important or great episodes of this series. (Oh, as for the plot this episode, I thought the ending was slightly twisty. But not at all unexpected. Plus we saw a young Mae Whitman.)
