Warning: Full spoilers from the episode follow.
So this week's Blindspot didn't get off to a great start. After the promising cliffhanger at the end of the second episode, "Eight Slim Grins" promptly killed off the one guy who might have had answers about who Jane was. Not only that, but he wasn't even "in the system," resulting in yet another convenient dead end for the FBI.

The idea behind the "Candymen" -- discharged Navy SEALs becoming jewel thieves -- was not only clever but also brought about some entertaining set pieces. The hospital shootout, for example, was fun to watch and suitably intense -- even if it did end with Robek dying before he could say anything useful. (Seriously, can one person with answers not croak moments after they're asked anything?) At least he gave Jane one honest clue -- "Orion" -- which as Zapata noted is frustratingly vague. But, hey, it's something.
