Focus turns to tracking down Maggie. Ryan goes to Joe, who tells them that Maggie went on a killing spree in Arkansas from 2002-2005. Six stabbings, all unsolved. This impressed Joe.

Review Ron Hogan Feb 12, 2013
It may have more viewers than positive reviews, but The Following is moving in the right direction for Ron. Here's his review of Mad Love...
This review contains spoilers.
1.4 Mad Love
The Following is a very dark show. If you're getting deja-vu, that's because I talked about the darkness of the show's tonality last week. This week, I'm talking about actual darkness. There's a murkiness to the episodes in general - and this episode in particular - that makes me feel like I need to adjust the colour balance on my television so I can actually follow what's going on. Ryan's in his perpetually shadowed apartment. Ryan's creeping through a darkened house. Emma, Jacob, and Paul are skulking in their darkened farmhouse. Joey squats in the darkness at the top of the stairs. That kidnapped Asian girl is taped to a chair in a dark basement.

Luck, Season 1, Episode 6
Written by Robin Shushan
Directed by Henry Bronchtein
Airs Sundays at 10pm Et on HBO
In Paul Thomas Anderson’s Magnolia, an act of God ripped straight from the Old Testament seems to tear uncannily from the sky and set right the paths of a dozen or so misdirected souls, defying the film’s relatively conventional (up to that point) sense of realism. In a similar way, “Episode Six” toys with the way Luck handles the notion of realism, and expands the show’s construction of reality. And by that I mean, let’s talk about Joey, played with usual grace by Richard Kind.
In what’s easily the most audacious sequence Luck has come up with so far, Joey’s probably-about-to-be-attempted suicide is thwarted when an earthquake hits – the gun goes off accidentally, and the bullet goes astray, ricocheting a few times before ultimately slicing through his cheek,...

HBO has given a series order to "Luck," a new drama with an A-list pedigree.
The series has "Deadwood" scribe David Milch writing the script, Dustin Hoffman in the lead role and Michael Mann directing the pilot.
"Luck" is billed as provocative look at horse racing -- the owners, gamblers, jockeys and diverse gaming industry players.
"Michael Mann delivered a pilot from David Milch's brilliant script that took our breath away," said HBO programming president Michael Lombardo. "We are truly excited that these two artists, and our extraordinary cast headed by Dustin Hoffman, will be bringing 'Luck' to life."
The show begins production this fall at Santa Anita and other Los Angeles locations.
The rest of the cast: Dennis Farina, John Ortiz, Kevin Dunn, Richard Kind, Jason Gedrick, Ritchie Coster, Ian Hart, Tom Payne, Kerry Condon, Gary Stevens and Nick Nolte.

Exclusive: Nick Nolte, TV star? I'm hearing that Nolte is already prepping to join the cast of Luck, the David Milch-created HBO drama about the horse race world, with a pilot that is being directed by Michael Mann. Deal isn't done yet, but I hear Nolte is already "mucking the stalls" at Santa Anita, where the drama is being prepped. Dustin Hoffman already signed to star, along with Dennis Farina and John Ortiz. Milch and Mann are exec producers with Carolyn Strauss and Henry Bronchtein. Nolte did TV early in his career and made a memorable breakthrough in the mini Rich Man, Poor [...]...

Dustin Hoffman is headed to television.
In his first major TV series gig, the Oscar winner has signed to topline HBO's horseracing drama pilot "Luck," from Michael Mann and David Milch.
The project is described as a provocative look at the worlds of horseracing and gambling told through a diverse group of characters surrounding a racetrack.
It centers on an intelligent, intuitive tough man (Hoffman) who always has been involved with gambling, from bookmaking and money laundering to casino operations.
Recently released from prison after four years, he teams with Gus Economou (Dennis Farina), his longtime chauffeur and muscle, to craft a complex plan involving the track. They recruit Turo Escalante (John Ortiz), a successful trainer with a sordid reputation.
Milch wrote the pilot, which Mann is directing. Both are executive producing with Carolyn Strauss and "The Sopranos" alum Henry Bronchtein.
The pilot is eyeing a spring production start in Los Angeles.

Michael Mann has recruited pals Dennis Farina and John Ortiz to star in "Luck," the horse-racing drama pilot for HBO that he is mounting with David Milch.
The project is described as a provocative look at the worlds of horse racing and gambling told through a diverse group of characters surrounding a racetrack.
It centers on Ace Bernstain, who, after three years in prison, teams with Gus Economou (Farina), his longtime chauffeur and muscle, to craft a complex plan involving the track. They recruit Turo Escalante (Ortiz), a successful trainer with sordid reputation.
Milch wrote the pilot, which Mann is directing. Both are executive producing with Carolyn Strauss and "The Sopranos" alum Henry Bronchtein.
In 1978, Farina was a veteran cop in his native Chicago when Mann tapped him as a police consultant and gave him his acting start with a small role in the 1981 film "Thief."

TNT is aggressively stocking up its original series pipeline.
The cable network on Thursday picked up to series all three of its pilots, the Steven Spielberg-produced alien invasion drama starring Noah Wyle; the George Clooney-produced "Delta Blues," starring Jason Lee; and "Rizzoli & Isles," starring Angie Harmon.
All three have received orders for nine episodes in addition to the pilot.
The move comes on the heels of TNT renewing freshman dramas "Men of a Certain Age," "Dark Blue" and "Hawthorne" and picking up NBC cop drama "Southland."
The alien invasion project, written by Robert Rodat from an idea he conceived with Spielberg, is set shortly after aliens have wiped out most of the human population. Wyle plays the leader of a ragtag group of soldiers and civilians who struggle against the occupying alien force, with Moon Bloodgood, Jessy Schram, Seychelle Gabriel and Maxim Knight co-starring.

Mark Mylod has signed to direct John Wells' drama pilot "Shameless" for Showtime starring William H. Macy. Meanwhile, Clark Johnson has been tapped to helm another drama pilot, TNT's "Delta Blues," executive produced by George Clooney.
Both projects hail from Warner Bros. TV and its cable division Warner Horizon.
Mylod's hire brings in another key piece of the original British drama "Shameless," on which the Showtime show is based. Wells co-wrote the adaptation and is executive producing with the U.K. series' creator, Paul Abbott.
Mylod directed the original pilot as well as two more episodes of the BAFTA-winning series.
The U.S. version is set during the recession and revolves around the working-class Chicago Gallagher family. With a mother who is Awol and an alcoholic patriarch (Macy) who usually ends up passed out on the living-room floor, 18-year-old Fiona is left with the task of keeping her five...
