Ep 2. On Fire

In the second episode of the first season of Lincoln Rhyme: Hunt for the Bone Collector, titled "On Fire," Lincoln (Russell Hornsby) and Amelia (Arielle Kebbel) are on the hunt for a new killer, dubbed the "Prometheus Killer," who is burning his victims alive. This new case stretches the team thin, putting not only their resources but also their emotional stability to the test.

Meanwhile, Lincoln's struggle with his own case, the Bone Collector, continues to haunt him. After a break-in at his apartment, Lincoln fears that his nemesis has returned to torment him. In the midst of all this, Lincoln is still adjusting to his new physical limitations and Amelia is trying to have him fitted for a new prosthetic arm.

As the team begins to investigate the Prometheus Killer, they are led to a man named Mark Twain, who was previously imprisoned for arson. However, it soon becomes clear that Mark was not the killer and that someone else has taken up the mantle of the Prometheus Killer. As the team continues to unravel the case, they are led down a path of corruption and greed that ultimately leads to a shocking revelation.

Throughout the episode, Lincoln and Amelia struggle with their own personal demons. Lincoln's PTSD continues to rear its head, and he is haunted by his memories of the Bone Collector. Amelia, on the other hand, is struggling to deal with the aftermath of her brother's death and finding herself questioning her own abilities as a detective.

Despite these personal struggles, the team remains focused on their new case. They work tirelessly to track down the killer, following leads and clues until they finally begin to unravel the truth. Along the way, they face dangerous situations and unexpected challenges, but their dedication to justice drives them forward.

In the end, the team is able to solve the case and bring the Prometheus Killer to justice. However, as they celebrate their victory, it becomes clear that the Bone Collector is still out there, and Lincoln's struggle with his past trauma is far from over.

Overall, "On Fire" is a gripping and intense episode that showcases the talent of the show's talented cast and the strong writing that drives the series forward. As Lincoln and Amelia continue to hunt for killers, they must also confront their own personal demons and find a way to move forward despite their past traumas.
