MEDIUM 1.4 FAQ

What’s it called?
“Night of the Wolf.”

Who’s responsible?
Teleplay is credited to the great Rene Echevarria (“Deep Space Nine,” “Now and Again,” “Dark Angel,” “The 4400”).

What does TV Guide say?
“Allison believes an eyewitness (Anahi Bustillos) is lying about a killer’s description; Allison’s younger daughter makes a new friend at school, but complications ensue.”

Is Allison right about the lying?
She is!

The big news?
The series rebounds extremely well this week following last week’s subpar installment about the experiment-nutty photographer.

The bigger news?
Anahi Bustillos, who plays the witness, can be found nowhere on IMDb, but she’s insanely hot. Is this her first screen-acting gig?

The biggest news?
Revolves around those “complications” that ensue. Allison learns this week that her youngest has powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men. (Bobby, the new friend at school? Not all that alive!)

What’s good?
Tiny Maria Lark, adorable and hilarious as first-grader Bridget DuBois. Lark’s first-act window-negotiation with Patricia Arquette generally, and Arquette’s goodbye kiss in particular. Old Wayne’s reaction when Allison describes her husband’s complexion. “I think it’s Matt Damon.” NBC hasn’t aired a bad episode of “Medium” yet, but creator Glenn Gordon Caron’s shows always seem to shine when they maintain a firm focus on the regulars. That’s certainly the case tonight.

What’s not so good?
Utilizing an actual red riding hood during the big action climax? Goofy!

How does it end, spoiler-boy?
With a conversation about spotted giraffes.
