This episode was tamer in enjoyment than the previous two episodes, but it was still entertaining. The case plotline was the least enjoyable with Martin's dream sequence being the highlight. We're getting shown more about the girl in the box in a slightly clever way, although given the how, in this episode, we should take it with a grain of salt, of course. And we were also given a little exposition into Martin's past. That was very interesting. I'd like to learn more. Altogether, the strong(est) point was learning a tiny bit about Martin's past as well as the girl in the box. Everything else was about average with a few moments that enticed enjoyment.

I liked how Malcolm (again) "educated" the rest about another paraphilia, this time necrophilia, which indeed is most often not even sexual in nature with a real corpse, and stems from deep attachment traumas.

I didn't quite buy the ethylene glycol poisoning scene. It shouldn't have been this life-threatening in the first 12 hours (especially since he was already drinking alcohol which inhibits the ethylene glycol from being metabolized), and Edrisa couldn't have ruled out hundreds of other odorless, sweet-tasting poisons without any other information or even symptoms. The treatment was somewhat right, intravenous injection of ethanol but that's supposed to be medical-grade alcohol, not booze. In the absence of that, vodka or gin is administered orally, not injected, because of the impurities that can be toxic.
I would've written Dev to still be conscious, so we could see some more symptoms which could've made the diagnosis more robust and so he could have been given the booze orally, not intravenously.
