Trivia
In the scene in the art gallery, Red (played by James Spader) mentions about puppets being terrifying. The next, almost throw away, line mentions clowns being terrifying too. This is in reference to his role as Alan Shore in Boston Legal, who was scared of clowns.

Goofs
The cab is shown crashing into an unloaded flatbed truck and instantly exploding into a fireball. While the crash would have been severe, since the truck was unloaded and the cab's gas tank is in the rear, the explosion would not have happened, nor would the fireball. This is a common special effect used for dramatic purposes.

Very Good

I agree with the reviewer who talks about there being more than one plot strain working. As this series has evolved there is the business of international intrigue and Tom and Liz's stories. But on a week to week basis, there have to be other things going on with this agency. Here we have a man, Milton Bobbit, who feels betrayed by the medical community, so he decides to take out those who wronged him. His method is to get terminally ill people to do the killings and remunerate them and their families (who are destitute). Milton is a fascinating character and makes this episode better. We also get into more of Tom's thing and Liz's efforts to not throw up every time he approaches her. The ending is really sort of sickening.
