This episode was more along the lines of what I was expected in the Pilot. Much better overall when it came to pacing and what each member of the team will in fact be asked to do. This episode follows Ernest Cobb (Joe Egender), a sniper sent away to Alcatraz. He of course returns 50 years later and starts sniping more innocent victims. The crime itself wasn't the interesting part for me, it was how he carried himself in his cell and how he try's to outsmart Chief Warden Edwin James (Jonny Coyne), who runs the Prison that I found to be more entertaining. The biggest reveal came at the end when we see...

Spoiler (hover to show)

...that Lucy (Parminder Nagra) herself came from Alcatraz as the resident Psychiatrist. I wasn't expecting that for sure. It was a nice twist, but I think they played that card too soon in order to get the maximum "what the fuuuuuuuck" response from it. They should have given the viewer time to get to know who Lucy is and what she is about so as to connect with her character, then you lower the BOOM and tells us she is the Alcatraz Doctor. Oh well....
