A clever episode, with Houdini and the world's first serial killer. Which Flynn tricks the guys into encountering. It's good, but I did want continuance with Lucy's personal plot. Looks like they have parted with the unnecessary shootout scenarios. Rufus isn't offering much at the moment, eating away at the run-time.

This is a show that is not only highly entertaining with witty humor and exciting story lines, but it also gives you exciting history lessons.
Great show for the whole family! You don't have to shoo your kids out of the room or cover their eyes and ears due to unsuitable content. This is actually a show you should want your kids to watch to learn history in a fun way. After I got done watching this episode I had to google the building they were in because it was so interesting and I wanted to know more!
The characters are wonderful and are such a great team! Even the villain is awesome, you never can decide if you think he's a horrible monster or justified with the destruction he causes. you won't regret watching!

Warning: Spoilers
1893 had a financial depression. There was also an infamous strike at a well known steel company. At any rate, the economy had tanked.
There was also the world's fair, celebrating the 1892 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' voyage.
People were celebrating the newest inventions, and progress in general.
Here, Lucy arrives in her IMO gorgeous long, burgundy gown, accompanied by none other than Flynn. Flynn wants to cause his usual mayhem at the fair. Lucy is his kidnapee.
Wyatt and Rufus are trying to find Lucy, since she was separated from them recently. Flynn has outsmarted them, however, and trapped them in a creepy hotel.
Meanwhile, Lucy assists Harry Houdini in his onstage act. He helps her by trying to thwart Flynn's evil plans.
The Lifeboat is looking pretty shabby by now.

This episode, like all the others is excellent. The characters are well defined and the stories are always engaging. Getting to see historic figures like Harry Houdini in a fictional setting is entertaining. The story of Garcia Flynn is being revealed one layer at a time like an onion being peeled. I highly recomment this series to anyone who is at all interested in history and/or good drama. But - the writers need someone who really knows the English language to catch anachronisms. No one in 1893 would have said "Have a good day." That came into fashion about the time happy faces appeared. I'm sure people would have wanted to know what happened to loved ones who disappeared, but they would have been even more confused than I am about the term "closure." That began being used decades after the Chicago World's Fair. I've heard it hundreds (thousands?) of times, and still don't really know what it means. No one in 1893 would have heard the expression. These anachronism may seem like a little thing, but it grates as badly as someone saying "Me and my wife like this show" or "It's good entertainment for my wife and I."
