Eye Candy1.10 "A4U" Review

The final episode opens with a man telling a little boy that he'll "find her and when you do, she'll be perfect."  To which I said what a thing to say to a little boy instead of other words of encouragement, like be the best you can, be good, it's not about finding women at his age, he hasn't even grown up yet!  He then tells him not to come into the next room and he hears a gunshot.  However he does go there and sees his parents both dead.  The boy is Jake (Ryan Cooper) as he was having a flashback on the boat.  Lindy (Victoria Justice) needs to find Tessa (Theodora Woolley) as Sophia (Kiersey Clemons) told her and she uses her phone to find the location, then hears Tessa's phone ringing, it's in Jake's bag.  So why didn't he turn it off.   They arrive at Hart Island.

Tommy (Casey Deidrick) and Connor (John Garet Stoker) enter the apartment and find Tessa's DB. Connor's never seen a DB before and then notice the marks on the bathroom door, someone must have hid it there Tommy assumes.  The phone rings and they search for Sophia's phone as Connor said he tried calling her but couldn't.  It's coming from being placed inside Tessa's head and the message reads: "follow us and they die, call the police and they die."  Well that was a bit late considering Tommy is police.  Tommy calls George (Harvey Guillen) for help who freaks out when he sees Tessa's body, he really liked her.  Connor slaps him and tells him to breathe.  Connor needs to find everything he can on Jake and Tommy tells George he needs to hack the city. but George needs access to the Cyber Unit at least.  Tommy tells him he'll get him what he wants and steals equipment from the Unit.  Yeager (Marcus Callender) sees and tries to stop him but Tommy beats him up, saying sorry.

Lindy sees someones already dug up the grave but Jake tells her to dig anyway.  She realizes Jake is the Flirtual Killer.  There's no body there, but there is a tablet which he tells her will inform her of what happened to her sister, Sarah.  Jake tells her they have "to die to be reborn."  Lindy hits him with the shovel and tries to gt away but he catches her.  She wakes to find herself tied up inside the building.

Connor and George look for info on Jake at the club and Connor finds his father was a violent prisoner and worked on Hart Island.  Connor also finds that Jake went to Australia and he got degrees in Computer Science so he could have easily been able to mastermind this.  Jake changed his name and his father met his mother who was a drug addict at the woman's facility.  Jake catches Lindy after she breaks out and tells her his father met her there and told her he'd break her out.  He tells Lindy he was looking for the one perfect one his entire life and he found her in Lindy.  She tells him she isn't perfect and he says her sister's disappearance is the one thing that makes her flawed so he'll help her with that.

He tells her he took Sophia and shows her the footage from the van outside.  She can save her if she goes now.  Lindy rushes to help and had flashes to the night her sister was abducted in the rain and does everything now she did then, like climbing over cars.  Smashing the window she saves Sophia. They try to escape but there's no boat there.  There's no signal either and then Lindy finds there's a private signal coming through.  Which she follows.

George gets to use the NSA ultimate hacker computer and Yeager finds him as soon as he turns it on. He has to hack into Jake's firewall which is surrounding the entire Island.  They didn't find Tessa's phone so Tommy thinks Jake took it and they could track it.  But why did Jake leave the phone turned on still.  If he's so meticulous on every detail.  Tommy and Connor arrive on the Island and Lindy finds the cables and antenna leading to Jake's computer.  The computer is set up to answer anything Lindy asks it.  She needs to download info about her sister onto her flashdrive.  However the first entry shows the acts Jake was capable of even at an early age and shows he killed his mother, by injecting her with an air bubble.  His father thought she overdosed and shot himself.  Jake wanted to stop her misery but didn't he realize he was adding to his father's pain in the process and what that would do to him.  Or did he not think his father would kill himself.  So Jake had the predisposition to kill from the outset, you could say the violence was in his genes.

Jake turns up and he stabs Sophia telling her to come with him so she can be saved.  Tommy and Connor are given the location by George who manages to break into the firewall and Connor finds Sophia.  Tommy goes after Lindy but she tells him to help Sophia for her.  She'll forgive him for everything if he helps her.  He reluctantly leaves after saying he'll never stop looking for her.  We then see Lindy at the train station with Jake handing her a box .  Inside are tickets to her hometown which she thinks will lead her to Sarah.  Lindy signals George and he loads Jake's photo onto peoples' phones saying the Flirtual Killer is in front of you.  Everyone watches Jake and some even try to stop him but he has a gun.  The police arrive and Tommy beats him.  Yep he always wanted to do that.

Lindy leaves.  She says goodbye to Sophia as Connor comes back to her room and plans out a vacation in Europe for them.  Lindy messages Tommy and they chat.  She tells him she has to do this alone and doesn't want anyone else to get hurt.  Jake is taken away and doesn't tell Tommy where Lindy's going asking for a lawyer.  She gets on a bus and looks at the second tablet Jake gave her.  It shows Sara getting out of the van that took her and meeting a boy, on the audio she hears, "Lindy will be safe."

A bit of an anti climax especially when Jake was already known as the killer.  Here we just get to see how he became one, all down to his father and they say children are impressionable so be careful what they see and what you tell them.  Also Jake didn't get hurt by the killer and never even had an attempt on his life, as I said already, he was only meant to be framed, which he did to himself.  It was a bit of a surprise Lindy didn't suspect him as a killer straight off since she instead thinks cos Tessa was dating her matches he was also dating her and that's why he had the phone.  The penny doesn't drop until later.

The title meaning "All For You."  Well it was all for Lindy!

Guess season 2 would've had her on the search for her sister and also Tommy checking in on her if he could, but somehow I don't think season 2 would've been as exciting, not with the show in its current state.  Suppose Jake would've escaped at some point, but needed to be behind bars like his father.   Yet her sister being alive and voluntarily leaving so Lindy would be safe was a little up in the air. Was it Jake who made her leave or someone else and who else would Lindy need to be safe from? Won't be getting any of those answers so make up your own endings if you like.  Oh and another thing, like Columbo, ha, what was all that about Sarah being held prisoner with Catherine's niece and was that even her, doesn't seem so, what was that a red herring?
