Touch: Season 1, Episode 6 “Lost and Found” (C+)
This episode wasn’t as strong as the last few, namely because it shifted the focus away from Martin and Jake’s relationship but instead brought in Clea’s family life, which dominated the entire episode and led to a sparseness of guest characters, something I never expected to be saying. Martin was occupied entirely by Clea in this hour after making his delivery to the home of the missing boy, and for the umpteenth time, he had to say “This is going to sound crazy, but…” as he introduced himself to the next person in the interconnected web of everything that drives this show. With all this talk of numbers, all I was thinking about was “Lost,” and the very next moment, Will is sitting out in the middle of a field after his plane has crashed. That moment was almost entirely ignored as Will just casually strolled back into the office and then went wailing onto the construction site, acting like a crazy person and not really accomplishing much of anything. I suppose the near-death experience that the person that was originally slated to occupy his seat went through was a compelling reason for her change of heart about having a child, but those two plotlines were considerably less meaty than what this show has provided in weeks past. It’s not clear whether Arthur is in fact dead, but he’s definitely not headed down a good path if he’s still alive, even if he’s managed to find a kindred spirit in Jake.
