I find myself wondering if this episode was rewritten or the idea changed half way through. They were trying to create a back story and some tension between Dylan and his father and some how inviting his partner (the detective) to dinner is a huge deal? When Dylan's husband downs the tequila I expected the father to have entered with a new wife on his arm or something.
Then I started to wonder if originally Lizzie had been meant to unknowingly dating Dylan's father. There was mention of her going "on a date" that seemed misplaced.
All in all there isn't enough meat on the bones with regards to the stories. It seems flat and two dimensional and the stories fail under scrutiny.
Even the reasons for the murders didn't make much sense. The people on the subway died because the subway accidentally took too long, the person at the carousel accidentally died because they passed by at the wrong time, the person at the hotel accidentally was killed because they came in at the wrong time, but...the bomb that would kill people on the bridge was intentional?
