"Gone" would be a very average episode if not for the creepy acting from Doug Hutchinson, who played Eugene Victor Tooms on The X-Files. We could tell the teenage son would be the kidnapper since he is in the episode but isn't thoroughly investigated until the end, but Hutchinson is so good as the menacing father that he steals the episode.
Cal tries to convince Emily that he's not a bully and only acts like that to provoke people in making certain responses, revealing more information than they would have otherwise. But we know that's not true since he bullies Loker and other random people unrelated to cases. Cal loves to feel superior and beat down on lesser people, even if he doesn't think he does that and didn't do anything particularly obnoxious in this episode.
Score: 8.7/10
