Amanda must decide whether to honour a past debt when an Immortal who saved her life attempts to let a nerve toxin loose in Paris.
This series is becoming Immortal-tastic! Another week, another Immortal after either Amanda or Nick or both. Wolfe sure knows how to make friends quickly.
The biggest problem with Inferno is that the guest cast aren't even remotely interesting, except for maybe Talia, a woman forever in search of a cause to fight for. The oddest thing about all of the guest players though is their accents, which seem to be attempts at Irish or Scottish at one time or another, but never quite come off. Although the solution to Amanda's dilemma is no surprise, it's good to see her taking a stand for her principles, even if it doesn't do any good here.
There's even a chance for Nick to save people as he gets to defuse a late-in-the-day plot device known as a bomb, which naturally stops on the one second mark, as per tradition. The finale is certainly explosive and tense; it's just what leads up to it that's the problem, which merely consists of various characters lying about what's in a briefcase until Amanda and Nick find it themselves.
Inferno can't really be called bad, it just drags out a very simple plot to one hour.
