There were two story lines this week.
Jordan and Woody: They really do work well
together. I’ve come to the conclusion that Woody, Jordan and Nigel have great
chemistry (work related). They each see a certain and very different aspect of
each crime and when you put the three of them together you can’t help but get
caught up in the case with them.
We’re led on quite a merry chase to get to the bottom of
this case. We start with her husband move on someone named Steven who’s
connected to her and ends up dead and then to this mysterious Richard Flinn—who
turns out to be our missing girl.
To add urgency to the case is the fact that the girl had a
daughter. No one knows where she is or if she’s even still alive. Lily was
very emotional. It’s one of the few times she has a chance to tell someone some
good news and she does her best to find the girl. It proves once again how
passionate and caring Lily is—something we already know.
Jordan starts the episode out asking Woody to talk to her
father. They’ve always had a tough relationship, loving but tough. Ever since
the shooting of Malden and James’s disappearance and the still
unsolved/unanswered question about who killed Jordan’s mom, things have been
more strained than normal. Anyway Woody goes and talks with her father. How
much good he did I’m not sure, but Max did end up going to Jordan. He gave us
the shocking or maybe not so shocking news that he’s packing up and leaving.
Where? We don’t know. I guess he just needs to get away from it all—Jordan
including. I felt sad for both of them. Max is the only family Jordan has. As
difficult as their relationship is Jordan depends on him in her own way. It’ll
be sad to no loner see Max at his bar and Jordan in her customary seat sharing
the days tale with him.
Wonder what Jordan is going to do with the bar?
This episode was
kind of too fast moving. The scenes went from one
to the next to the next to the next and keeping up was a
bit of an effort. And average story.
Garret and Capra: I like Capra as a person. She’s
a good detective, good personality and all, but she doesn’t ignite that spark
that the other detectives manage to. I always feel like the scenes lack a
little something because of that. She’s got this quite demeanor that actually
fools some people into a false sense of security, but also puts me to sleep
sometimes.
That said her case with Garret was interesting. Maybe
because I was so tired it just didn’t dawn on me that the wife had a twin. But
until we saw the 7-phase fade out (scary what plastic surgery can do to a
person) I didn’t realize it was the lawyer (the wife’s sister) that had killed
the husband. I imagine it must have been hard for her to lose her twin to a man
(especially if they grew up sharing that special bond us non-twins only read
about) To top it off to learn that her sister’s husband is cheating on
her---well I guess that could be reason enough to lose it.
Inadvertently she managed to help the other partner of the
practice. He sure didn’t seem to sad over his partner’s death. Guess he has it
made now. Too bad he wasn’t guilty in some way…then again maybe he’s not a bad
person, we just didn’t get to see his better side.
2 1/2 out of 5 Dead Bodies.
