(Max Greenfield) and Meg Manning (Alona Tal). Reception Ratings In its original broadcast, the episode received 2.33 million viewers, ranking 113th of 121 in the weekly rankings. Reviews The episode received mixed to positive reviews. Television Without Pity gave it a "B+". Price Peterson, writing for TV.com, gave a mixed to negative review. "Okay, so I got slightly bored with all the mascot stuff." He also criticized the discovery of Abel Koontz's daughter, calling it "far-fetched." However, the reviewer also wrote that "still though, the mythology reveals were pretty great." By contrast, Rowan Kaiser of The A.V. Club gave a more positive review, praising the characterization of Veronica and Wallace as well as the movement of the Lilly Kane case. "But as much momentum as the Lilly Kane murder plot is picking up, I'm happy with the case-of-the-week here, too, as trifling as it may be. I like it because it's a Wallace-centered episode, probably the strongest showcase for Percy Daggs III we've had yet."
