SEASON 1, EPISODE 21 DOUBLE EXPOSURE Television anchorman Winston Knight (Gary Frank) is getting his highest ratings ever, since the 'Machete Murderer' reveals his most recent killings on Knight's newscast. Although the police are stumped by the slayings, the public is morbidly fascinated with the story, whose multiple murders have gone unobserved by any eyewitnesses. But one night, there it a witness, and it is a shaken Ryan Dallion who insists that the man he saw fleeing the scene was Winston Knight himself. A skeptical police dismisses Ryan's story, since Knight was on live television at the time of the murder. To learn the truth, Jack checks the manifest for connections to the killer, and Ryan and his girlfriend Cathy (Catherine Disher) pay Knight a visit. After leaving Knight's house without any answers, Cathy returns to retrieve her purse and is shocked to see two identical Winston Knight's staring at her from the window! How could that be?
