This should result in a boring episode, but it doesn’t. Everyone is who you expect them to be and does more or less what you expect them to do. On “Escape From Shit Mountain,” there is no trope subversion or misdirection (outside of the twist with Charlie being hit by the car). “Escape From Shit Mountain” has the least interesting, most generic of the season’s cases of the week. But then, the entire episode is much better than it has any right to be. That twist is way more effective than it should be.

On the episode, Charlie finds herself the victim of a hit-and-run and trapped in a run-down motel with the person who hit her. Not even her initial escape from Nevada on Poker Face Season 1 Episode 1, “Dead Man’s Hand,” brought Charlie as close to death as “Escape From Shit Mountain.” Although, given the way the episode ends, “Escape From Shit Mountain” might only have the title of the most dangerous episode for a week.
