If every episode pays homage to a famous painting...
Did anyone spot the scene similar to "The Chess Players?"

No, though I have to admit, I was not paying complete full attention, and the last episode's scene lasted a split second.
Next week is titled 'The Gross Clinic' -

I always forget to look for the particular scene. So I missed it, too.
But it was a really good episode, so I don't mind watching it again... and this time I'll look for it.
That was exactly the scene when Garret took Jack to the morgue and the saw the doctor explains a procedure to trainees.

Yep, and I actually caught it this time!
shareIt was when Cam and Jack were playing chess.

Ah ha! Thank you so much!
Well a scene similar to tonight's featured painting shouldn't be hard to spot, since Garrett will most likely be having surgery.
See Tree_Woman's post above for a link to the painting "The Gross Clinic"
Any guesses what the final episode will be called / paying homage to?
Do you think there will be an episode called American Gothic?
According to futoncritic.com the final episode is called Whistler's Mother.

...could the silver bells be a homage to Sir Charles Bell?
Bell (1774-1842), a surgeon and atanomist, was an artist as well. He treated wounded soldiers at Waterloo and documented the incredible cruelty of war in his drawings with a lot of detail. Reminds me of Jacks drawings.
Another parallel to Sir Charles Bell could be his work about the philosophy and anatomy of expression [of a mad man]. After reading about it I couldn't help myself but going through the cast and their wrinkles. Might be nothing, but with all we know (after ep7)....well, good job on casting the mother, someone with no wrinkles - botox?, keeping up appearances.
Now, with Sir Bell's 'moving record of the horrific wounds [...]'*, maybe that's what this show is for us, more than just a "whodunnit", a depiction of a family's mental record and how their wounds are passed on from one generation to the next.
There's the grandmother, Cam&Jack and now Tessa might start worrying about her unborns future.
Hence Silver Bells = Homage to Sir Charles Bell, my guess :-)
I might be overshooting here, but I would love this show to have more hidden details, hints, going even further. Your thoughts?!??
Anyone find it interesting that the last 3 paintings/scenes involved Jack?
The Chess Players - Jack and Cam playing Chess
The Gross Clinic - Jack and Garrett looking in on the autopsy.
Kindred Spirits - Jack and Sadie on the cliff.
Good catch, I wonder what it means? Will Jack be the one that figures out who the Silver Bells Killer and accomplice were?
