In the previous episode, 'Band of Brothers,' Tessa says to Duncan that Paris is their city. In this episode, Duncan has a flashback of when he and Tessa first met in Paris. He is running away from the police when he jumps on a tour boat she is the host of. They are cute right from the beginning. Chemistry right away.
Richie and the statue stuff was funny, especially since Tessa broke it.
The villain Kuyler made a pretty good antagonist. Duncan uses his detective skills to track him down. You'll often see Duncan figure out what the villain likes such as absinthe, rare caviar, an expensive car, etc, in order to track them down. Notice in future episodes his expressions as he makes these observances. Kuyler's MO is to wear make-up and acts as a mime or magician to get his victims to let their guard down. He's an assassin. He kills a friend of Duncan's a couple hundred years earlier. It so happens he along with his assassin gang kill three judges in different areas and Duncan happens to be a witness at one of the crime scenes. He puts it together that it's Kuyler given the mime get-up.
Detective Lebrun plays another seemingly angry at Duncan cop. I suppose in his case he's got a reason as he remembers Duncan running away from all those years before, tho Duncan denies it was him.
In the French episodes, most of the French actors are dubbed. It's very badly done and makes the actor seem like he/she is a bad actor, when in fact they may be fine. The dubbing sounds very monotone with no expressions of emotions. Detective Lebrun is one of the dubbed. Keep this in mind for other French actors in future episodes. I wish they didn't dub them and we could hear them naturally. I understand Tessa perfectly fine.
I didn't find this episode especially special. But it wasn't bad at all except for the dubbing. I gave it a 7/10.
