A brand-new Monday means a new episode of The Irrational and a new case for Mercer and the team.
The Irrational has cemented itself as a case-centric procedural with little focus on the characters' personal lives.
It should not come as a surprise that The Irrational Season 1 Episode 4 focuses heavily on a case, as spoilers for the episode tease an arduous undertaking made more challenging by a complex family history.
Mercer Takes on a Kidnapping Case
Typically, Mercer gets called to a crime scene, or someone approaches them directly to take on their case.
Remember on The Irrational Season 1 Episode 1 when the governor asked Mercer for a favor or when Cj wanted help solving her supposed murder on The Irrational Season 1 Episode 2?
It is not atypical for people to ask for Mercer's help; this time, a desperate father finds Mercer and asks for help finding his daughter.

The third episode of the new series The Irrational was a bit of a dud as compared to the other episodes. Sure, Alec Mercer’s original case, i.e., the Church Bombing case, got some impetus, but overall, the case Mercer had to solve in this episode lacked the twists and turns we have come to expect with The Irrational. Nevertheless, Alec Mercer remains a charming and dependable character with no rough edges. The last thing we want in the series is an angsty protagonist. The case was technically much bigger than Mercer had solved, but strangely, the stakes seemed low. Let’s take a look at the recap of Mercer and his world, where he is required by his wife Marisa to help the FBI solve a case.
Spoilers Ahead
What Was Mercer’s New Case?
In the previous episode, Mercer had remembered something about the church bombing case that happened 19 years ago.

The Irrational has found a formula and decided to stick to it.
And while I initially critiqued that formula, it has taken three episodes to get used to it and find its beauty.
Even if more could be done where the show's characters are concerned, having the cases dominate the episode is more interesting than writing cliché backstories to the characters.
It is also better than giving characters storylines that don't make sense or add anything to the story.
After watching The Irrational Season 1 Episode 3, it became clear that the show was looking to develop its main characters slowly while exploring other aspects of human existence that the five or so characters can never encapsulate.
The hour saw Mercer and his team dig deep into the final moments of an aviator to determine why they crashed a plane as they were accused of.
Six million car accidents per year. The...

Let’s kick off this Irrational recap, Jeopardy! style. Answer: Crash and burn. Question: What is an apt description of Alec’s prospects when it comes to a second chance at love with his ex-wife? Don’t worry if you got it wrong: The judges also would have accepted “What is this episode’s Case of the Week?”
A plane accident with murky underpinnings is the central focus of “The Barnum Effect,” but I’m most into the way that Marisa is firmly yet lovingly setting boundaries for her ex-husband. Yes, she and Alec can work together, and yes, it...
