After watching Death Lends a Hand last night I was impressed that it kind of stands out from the rest for a harder edged style. I know it differs slightly in that Brimmer does not plan to kill his victim but the whole episode has a diefrent style and look for me. Anyone else pick up on this?
Very unusual ending too, with respect to Brimmer expressing his remorse to the victim's husband......And why don't they ever give Brimmer a first name?
One thing has always bothered me about this one. It's easy to second-guess, but it always seems like the victim could have avoided what happened. She could have refused to help Brimmer without actually threatening him, because it would've almost been a stand-off between them - he couldn't turn around and tell her husband the truth, without the LIES he had told him coming out, so she really didn't have to tell her husband ANYTHING, let alone ANNOUNCE to Brimmer that she was going to. At least, that's how it seems to me. But otherwise, I've always liked this one.
