Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen the series was created, the character of Robert Goren was modeled after Sherlock Holmes and, to a degree, Alexandra Eames was modeled after Dr. John Watson. The character of Nicole Wallace--a serial killer who is the only criminal to ever be able to match Goren's intelligence--becomes his archenemy. Nicole was modeled after Professor James Moriarty, Sherlock Holmes' nemesis and the only criminal Holmes encountered that matched his intelligence. Nicole was also partly modeled after Irene Adler, who was a minor criminal and the only woman that ever held Holmes' interest romantically. Similarly, a grudging respect--as well as some sexual tension--seems to exist between Goren and Nicole.
- GoofsGoran speaks to the police in Australia and refers to the Victoria Police as the Melbourne Police. Also he says Elizabeth Hitchens was 'President' of a company but the correct term is more likely 'Managing Director'. Australian companies do not have presidents.
- Quotes
Nicole Wallace: Tell me, Robert, how often do you get up to the Carmel Ridge Center?
Robert Goren: Once a week. And a phone call every day.
Nicole Wallace: How old were you when you first realized it?
Robert Goren: No. You want to play, then it's gonna have to be tit-for-tat. You have to tell me something true about you, about Nicole.
Nicole Wallace: All right. I did meet Nicole before I left for England. She told me things.
Robert Goren: Where is she now?
Nicole Wallace: I don't know. Carried away by dingoes? It happens a lot in Australia.

The visiting "professor" turns out to be from Australia, is a serial killer who spent prison time in Thailand and....well...... this woman, "Nicole Wallace," aka "Elizabeth Hitchens, "is so diabolical that, in the end, we find out we haven't seen the last of her.
This was an outstanding episode, one of the best I've ever seen. I look forward to seeing Goren match wits with this woman again.
