Jinx!

Yeah, I'm sure that he's okay.  I mean, it looks like the worst damage Angelorious might have done was shoot off a few fingers, and Dr. Noll was probably right-handed anyway.  (On the plus side, it would appear that our would-be assassin used a cauterizing bullet, so there won't be much cleanup, and knowing Dr. Noll, he'll probably want to keep the fingers in a jar somewhere if he can't reattach them.)  I think that we should be more concerned about the fact that it seems like Doctor Noll has had something in his eye for a while now and can't seem to get it out.  (I'm thinking that the doctor needs to see a doctor, unless he only had one eye to begin with, or is content to live without depth perception.)

So it turns out that Angerlorious didn't shoot Dr. Noll in the hand.  (I must admit that I didn't think that she had seeing as how stubby fingers are a common occurrence in the Dick Tracy Universe, but since there wasn't any blood, I had to make a guess.  Wrong again.  Oh well.)  Instead, the doctor pulled a Clint Eastwood (or a Marty McFly) and the bullet bounced off of the brace he was wearing across his chest (no doubt made from the door of a cast iron stove or a piece of metal that just happened to be lying around the lab).  Now all Dick has to do is figure out why Angelorious shot him.  Was it a direct order from Driller, who, after trying out the fuel in his car and wrecking his engine grew tired of Dr. Noll's mistakes and decided that he needed to be silenced, or is there someone else involved?  We'll just have to wait and see how long it takes for this question to be answered.  (We'll also have to wait and see how long it takes for the CIA man to arrive on the scene since he seemed to be heading over there some time ago and has yet to make an appearance.)

Of course, the real question is: what's to become of Tess and the neighborhood ladies' perfume business?  Will they continue on without Angelorious, pretend that she isn't evil, or simply abandon the endeavor due to the fact that it could now tie them in one way or another to illegal activities (and potentially organized crime)?  After all, no perfume, no matter how wonderful it smells, is worth prison time.
