First, we get a mind-blowing prologue that brings Dylan McDermott back to the series. I enjoyed seeing his return because it began to answer my questions about what's happened in the scenes set in present day, and if you're a fan who thinks like I do, you might have found McDermott's cameo to be somewhat ironic. Here he plays the disgruntled patient to a psychiatrist, which is a reversal of his role from last season in which he played a psychiatrist. Just a neat little 'Easter Egg' that I enjoyed.
SPOILERS BEWARE: In addition to that twist, Lana finds something out about herself that sets her off, Sister Jude is made an official patient at Briarcliff, inmate Lee Emerson (aka "Santa") attempts to change his ways, and Dr. Arden tries an experiment that, with Kit's help, produces shocking results.
Needless to say, it's another exciting episode full of twists and turns with a cliffhanger ending that's gonna make this holiday hiatus an agonizing couple weeks. It seems like things are building to an exciting payoff in 2013.
(Gotta say I love this show for the way it keeps you guessing and coming back each week to have expectations shattered. You'd be ill-pressed to find another show like it on television.)
