It’s hard to enjoy a show when you start noticing holes in the plot. Sadly, this happened a few times in this episode of Proof. We’re eight episodes in and so far there have been some episodes that I really loved and episodes that I’ve really not cared for. This one, entitled Reborn was just okay. The case was interesting and I like the idea of them trying to discover if this little boy was a reincarnation of another boy who had died several years back. I have always found that idea interesting but what they were saying reincarnation was, isn’t exactly how I thought reincarnation worked. Please note, I’m not an expert on that subject! That’s just one component of this episode that I had a hard time with. The other was how Carolyn was sharing information about her patient to this woman, Deborah whom I perceived as a little unstable. Yes, she thought that boy was her son and she had reasons to believe this but I just couldn’t wrap my head around how Carolyn just let her hangout at the hospital and shared confidential information with her.
We finally get some answers about the woman in the green scarf. It wasn’t that big of a surprise though as must of us were guessing that she had something to do with life after death. It is very curious what she meant by “they" telling her not to talk to Carolyn. Who’s "they"? Any guesses anyone? It was also interesting when she threatens Carolyn and tells her that what she’s trying to discover something that isn’t meant to be known. Before this happens Carolyn had told Zed that she had quit. She's not going to be looking into NDE’s anymore. She’s called wolf on that one, one too many times for me to believe her. Having this woman come to her seems to have the opposite effect, instead of her stopping the research she’s peaked Carolyn's interest even more.
This show continues to leave me with more questions then answers. Hopefully in the end we’ll get some actual answers. What did you think about Proof Reborn?
