Warning: Full spoilers for the episode follow.
This week's Limitless was easily the most ambitious episode to date, as Brian went after not one, not three, but ten criminals -- the FBI's Ten Most Wanted, in fact. Suffice to say, this was a huge undertaking, not just for Brian but for the series too. As a result, the Eddie/Sands stuff was significantly cut back this week, but honestly "Headquarters!" didn't need it. If anything, this storyline proved how strong the procedural elements can be on their own, with little NZT interference.
Of course, Brian tackling ten cases on his own wouldn't be that interesting by itself. (After all, this storyline was really just a roundabout way of Brian getting his own headquarters -- "with an exclamation point!") So having Brian parse out cases to other members of the team was a fun way to break the cases up. I mean, the "Bruntouchables" stuff would never, ever happen in real life -- including how it took DC almost a full two weeks to put the kibosh on the CDC's unauthorized task force -- but the additional mini-assignments were still entertaining.
