This episode went totally wrong in the end although it started fine.
It's unbelievable to think that in real world prowler wouldn't encounter house occupants that have either silent panic button connected to security agency, or gun under their pillow.
Then victim would use on of these and boom, prowler is caught or dead.
Give me a break. We're watching that all prowler's victims lived in grandiose houses / penthouse. They afforded to buy it so they couldn't have afforded even basic security installed???
A dog would also hear and spot the prowler immediately and alarm everyone by barking, and once it happened I don't think prowler would continue further.
To make things worse Lt Gilmore is portrait like some kind of cop that hurries up to catch the prowler without any disregard to shared collaboration with Vice. What would be the point of such hurry? Police can't be everywhere and can't protect every house. It takes time to find the offender.
Last final minutes when Gilmore use "paranormal skills" to point to the target house is absolutely nothing that intelligent person can buy. I believe episode director realised three quarters of already filmed episode went totally in wrong direction therefore tried to rescue it, which made the whole episode even worse. In real world you don't solve cases this way. You engage with informants, set traps, set up hidden areas surveillance, inform local residents in discretion to have guns under pillow or advise them to set up alarms in their houses.
None of this happened in this episode.
