Summary
A woman wakes up in the middle of the night and tries to wake up her boyfriend. To her horror, she discovers that he has been stabbed while lying in bed beside her. When Moser and Rex arrive, the woman is confused and can't remember what happened that night. A specialist soon delivers the shocking news - their witness has been hypnotised.
The Good
The teaser sequence at the beginning was very good with the woman rolling over and discovering her dead boyfriend. The actress playing the dead man's mother was very good. Later attempts at hypnotising both Moser and Rex were well done.
The Bad
The identity of the murderer was too obvious and this entire episode seemed disjointed.
