Reception
Geoff Berkshire at the LA Times praised the episode as "a perfect example of the show in top form". He said " death at the hands of Robert's daughter, Allison (Jazz Raycole), is thrilling and bold. There's something rather creepy about Allison becoming the second teenage killer on this show. It's precisely that kind of unsettling choice that underscores the bleakness and desperation that makes Jericho stand out from other network dramas."
