This is an example of writers at the end of the season who have no skill at plotting,dialog, or the dangers of the implausible and the unnecessary.
A psycho plots to torture & kill McCallum slowly as revenge for court testimony. He sets his plan in motion. The cops are alerted and tap McCallum's phone at home & work. The cops arrest the wrong man. Subsequent taped phone calls establish that they've arrested the wrong man, but nothing seems to be done about it. The psycho gives abundant clues about his history with McCallum on the tapes, but no one uses the info to identify, much less apprehend, the psycho-which they could easily have done. The plotting is absolutely absurd and, even more frustrating, in the hands of imaginative and talented writers and a director who understands plot and pacing, it could have been very, very well done, but it wasn't. It is shear crap. The ONLY (here I become a sexist) worthwhile screen time is that devoted to Zara Turner, who plays Angela-a forensic doctor. Ms Turner is talented and undeniably stunning. A few glimpses of her are worth wading through the sloppy episode.
