Good episode! The fact that Shawn Farrell (Patrick Flueger) was ultimately permitted to re-establish his healing clinic made for a great side story and an event worthy of cheers!

The main plotline with Audrey Parker (Constance Towers), inspires thoughts of fascinating possibilities. They, naturally, chose a beautiful actress (Laura Mennell) to portray Audrey's consciousness as it moves about (supposedly her younger self). However, this kind of thing, like mind reading, has scary potential. Fifty years ago, which might well have been in Audrey's heyday, Charlie Rich released a song with the lyrics "no one knows what goes on behind closed doors". You know what - some things are just best left unknown.

There is one puzzling scene though. Audrey's consciousness can appear anywhere immediately, however, when she dies, her consciousness, which is apparently on a rooftop, takes forever to return to her being. NTAC and forensics are already on the scene upon its arrival. One possible explanation comes to mind; with Audrey's death, her consciousness, which remains on-the-loose, moves much slower and cannot instantly appear anywhere.

All-in-all, a terrific story with an unexpected twist. In this case Audrey might have been better-off had she been given mind-reading capability instead. She possibly could have saved her own life. Nine Stars from me!
