1. The sequence of flashbacks inadvertently causes loss of suspense. 2. The trapped arm changes from one to the other. 3. The once brilliant serial killer turned catatonic vegetable did not a memorable villain make. 4. Very little forensics were performed or tech used to find Sara when lots of forensic science and technology were used in previous episodes when finding other victims in the desert. 5. It was raining for the majority of the episode, the news called it the heaviest storm of the year, warnings of flooding. However, as soon as the sun came up, all the water was gone! Dust clouds forming behind vehicles, car tires and shoes were sinking in 4 inches of dry sand. It was evident the area hadn't seen rain in weeks, yet we're supposed to believe that it's the next morning after the storm of the year was dumping rain all night? Sure. This inconsistency causes confusion about what the threat was. Because it was supposed to be the likelihood of drowning face down in water and mud. But now a few hours later the water is gone and the threat is now supposedly dehydration and sun stroke. So either the rain must not have been that heavy or the desert was not very hot and dry. In mere hours both of these threats are impossible. It would have taken days for all that water to dissipate. She was missing for less than 24 hours.
