[REVIEW] Rachel Skarsten – Flashpoint
The episode opens with Natalie Braddock (Rachel Skarsten) being lured over to see her ex-boyfriend, who actually is a criminal with a nasty grudge. He forces her to call her new boyfriend, who is a cop with the special unit where her brother is also assigned.
As soon as the trap is sprung and the cop is being held at gunpoint, the ex says to his accomplice “She’s done, tie her up”.
After the opening credits, Natalie, wearing white blouse and jeans, is tied to a chair with her hands behind her back. The cop is chained and handcuffed in front of a computer so that he can hack into the police evidence locker security system. The action shifts back and forth from the attempted break-in at the locker and the apartment where the pair are being held; when the bad guy catches Natalie and the cop talking and order the accomplice to “shut her trap”, which he accomplishes with a strip of duct tape applied onscreen.
The action continues to shift back and forth with Natalie tied and gagged in the chair for a few minutes, but when the cop balks at providing any more help, Natalie is roughly pulled out of the chair and threatened with a knife to her throat. The cop backs down and agrees to continue helping, and Natalie is pushed to the floor. She spends most of the rest of the episode laying helpless and quiet on her side, and the police stop the break in and figure out where the couple is being held.
Finally, the cops bust in, and the bad guy pulls Natalie to her feet to be used as a human shield. The scene lasts for a couple of minutes, with several good close ups as the cops finally rush the bad guy and rescue her.
