I was surprised to see that Mary's mother and sister were both brought back. Many second seasons show some kind of fine tuning and I totally expected at least one of them to be gone. Given the season picked up right where the last one ended, I imagine that would have been impossible. Does anyone know if the boyfriend will be back this season?
I really want to like the show, but it infuriates me so much. WHY, WHY, WHY if these victims are ever expected to be hidden from the criminals they are being protected from do they keep the same first names? Okay, I can understand the viewers would become confused with all the new names so that could be the answer to my own question - but how is it possible that the man who shot Lily from this episode, and was imprisoned for it was ever allowed to move to very same city and go into business with her? AND HOW IS IT that Mary or her colleagues, the parole board or any department in the justice system didn't have knowledge of this? I seem to recall it even being said on another episode that if a witness wanted to remain in the program all ties would have to be cut, including family members so how could this reformed criminal have been visited in prison by his victim, been released and and knowingly move to the same place his victims live? It flies in the face of everything being done for this family..... It drives me crazy!
And even though it didn't really happen in this episode but at least once last season, a witness stayed in the same high-profile line of work which landed both he and his wife's photos in the newspapers, online and in the same social circles. Isn't the premise of witness protection to assume new identities and backgrounds and just blend into a new life?
