Dr. Dylan Reinhart is back for more thrilling investigative work in the second episode of "Instinct" season one, appropriately titled "Wild Game." After consulting on a case in the premiere episode, Dylan is approached by NYPD detective Lizzie Needham for help with a new homicide investigation.
The episode begins with a group of four friends enjoying a weekend hunting trip in upstate New York. However, their peaceful outing takes a dark turn when one of the friends, an investment banker, is murdered. It quickly becomes apparent that the victim was not the only one with secrets - each of the remaining three men has something to hide.
Detective Needham and her partner investigate the scene and quickly determine that the killer is likely one of the victim's friends. Seeking Dylan's help in cracking the case, the two detectives head to his home to plead for assistance. Initially hesitant, Dylan ultimately agrees to help and heads to the crime scene to get a firsthand look.
From there, the episode becomes a whirlwind of intrigue, as Dylan and Needham attempt to piece together what happened on the hunting trip. A number of intriguing characters are introduced, including the victim's wife and a number of shady business associates. Dylan uses his vast knowledge and expertise to help narrow down the list of suspects, but the case takes several unexpected turns as new information comes to light.
What makes this episode of "Instinct" so compelling is the complex relationships that exist between the characters. As Dylan and Needham delve deeper into the case, they uncover decades-old secrets and grudges that may have factored into the murder. The victim's wife is particularly intriguing, as her role in the case is never quite clear - is she a grieving widow, or is there more to her story?
Throughout it all, the investigation plays out in a fast-paced, engaging manner that keeps the audience on their toes. There are twists and turns around every corner, and just when you think you have the case figured out, something unexpected happens to throw everything off course.
At the same time, the show does an excellent job of developing the relationship between Dylan and Needham. Though they are from different worlds - Dylan is a bestselling author and former CIA agent, while Needham is a no-nonsense detective - they work surprisingly well together. Their partnership is one of the highlights of the show, and fans of crime dramas will likely appreciate the dynamic that develops between the two characters.
Overall, "Instinct" season one episode two, "Wild Game," is an excellent installment of the show.
