Mad about Homicide is well certainly one of my prime 5 episodes of the season, excessive stakes, a number of storylines and somewhat little bit of quaint Rookie enjoyable.
The beginning of this episode is arguably certainly one of my favorite begins to an episode, Tim exhibiting his private aspect to Miles admitting he needs to win the LAPD vs LAFD soccer recreation, it was positively giving me season 2 Bradford vibes and I find it irresistible. I’ll be sincere I used to be positively shocked when the random dude confirmed up studying out the transcript for the hit crew.
Nathan Fillion actually does shine via when he will get to play humour and Nolan stealing Bailey’s gear is a primary instance of that.
I’m such a sucker for storylines coming again and being talked about in television exhibits, which is why I completely love the Celina and Lucy storyline this episode. Celina actually has been shining since she grew to become a P2, and that is no completely different. Stopping her mom from divulging data throughout her interview with Heather for the Mad About Homicide podcast. Then ripping into her was positively certainly one of my favorite elements of the episode. The lady attempting to achieve Lucy and Celina’s assist was positively decided and I’m unsure how a lot I favored Karla saying that they’d assist, however inevitably we knew that they’d.

I actually felt for Nyla and James when nobody turned up on time for the reform assembly, they put all this effort into serving to higher the police pressure however had been let down. I really do hope that over time we are going to get to see correct help for them and their trigger.
Tim’s case requiring the feds involvement solely means one factor, excessive stakes and an incredible storyline.
I actually have come to love Miles and he actually is beginning to come out of his shell and suggesting altering the coaching movies exhibits how a lot he loves the job. The coaching movies are among the funniest and most inaccurate coaching movies I’ve seen and I’m positively glad that Miles is updating them, perhaps because of this Seth was so dangerous at his job!
The murderer web site not being a prank was not one thing I used to be anticipating, it’s positively very actual. The people who find themselves targets are lower than useful however regardless Angela and Tim needed to interview them simply in case.
Smitty actually is among the greatest characters on the present, saying “time is money” and making Miles pay to talk to him is strictly what I’d anticipate Smitty to do. Typically Smitty has some little nuggets of real knowledge, however this was not a type of moments. I feel Miles leaves the dialog extra confused than helped.
We all the time like to see The Mid-Wilshire crew in tactical gear and this time is not any completely different, there’s all the time a component of shock when they’re in tactical gear, be it that Angela was taken to Guatemala in season 4 or like this time the hit man has been hit himself.
Celina and Lucy interviewing Aria’s ex-boyfriend is extremely fascinating. Lucy places her expertise into play when she notices the importance of Aria having two social media accounts, when her sister Taylor had solely talked about one account. Her household disagreeing along with her option to have the infant made me assume that she had simply run away to flee the scrutiny. Aria’s ex-boyfriend might have been a jerk for leaving her to cope with being pregnant on her personal, however he did at the least assist Lucy and Celina to find her.
Personally I really like a stroll and discuss scene; Nolan, Tim and Angela discussing the hitman being murdered was very entertaining, Nolan making the joke “this assassin game is murder” falling flat on Angela and Tim stroke a chord in my memory of Fortress and the way Ryan and Esposito would reply to certainly one of Fortress’s jokes.
Heather actually did bug me on this episode, solely caring about Taylor and Aria’s story as soon as the cops had been concerned was very shady. I completely cherished Lucy on this scene, it positively confirmed how good she will likely be as soon as she makes sergeant (as if we didn’t already know), Taylor admitting that she agreed along with her mother and father on Aria’s choice to have the infant furthered my suspicion that she was pushed away from the household.
It was extremely bizarre to see Nolan driving and Tim within the passenger’s seat, however we didn’t have a lot time to concentrate on that as they had been chasing after Danny Fang, who was then fatally stabbed as he was fleeing. I used to be positively not anticipating him to be stabbed, from the promo we knew that Malvado was going to kill somebody that they had been chasing however I used to be anticipating a protracted vary shot not a close-range stabbing.

Some extra Miles and Gray, father son duo is strictly what this episode wanted, Gray encouraging Miles to only get began on the coaching movies was such a small scene however one I positively cherished. You’ll be able to see their bond rising all through the episodes.
Nolan being the one to announce that he discovered Malvado genuinely shocked me, I half anticipated him to maintain it a secret because it may have introduced up repercussions for Bailey and her actions, and likewise on him for mendacity.
The swap between Kaylie and Zach was hilarious, her pretending to maintain up the gag and that they wouldn’t spill something and a straight reduce to Zach who was speaking like he’d been given fact serum.
Tim and Angela’s hang around after work was by far my favorite scene on this episode and presumably in the entire season to date. I’ve missed the Bropez friendship being on our screens, and this was an ideal solution to deliver it again, over a pleasant drink of Palm Republic.
My quote of the week is from Angela on this scene “hate to break it to ya, but I’m not one of the guys, you’re one of the girls and girls want gossip, so spill it” – I do love Angela all the time clocking Tim and his emotions, I additionally love the truth that she isn’t afraid to inform him when he’s tousled. They are surely a incredible friendship.
Lucy apologising to Celina in regards to the podcast actually showcased how genuinely good Lucy is as an individual, that’s one factor they’ve persistently confirmed this season with Lucy’s character. Lucy and Celina positively harassed me out by going to the home with no again as much as start with, however they positively can deal with themselves.
Celina going into the home on her personal while Lucy was exterior severely spiked my worry for her, and rightfully so when she pushed down the steps. Lucy got here in with essentially the most badass roll into the room the place the lady had a knife to the infant, she was positively an absolute psychopath. I cherished the actual fact Celina was capable of assist another person save their sister and their child. I feared that Lucy might have killed the lady, nevertheless I used to be glad when she instructed Tim that she made it out of surgical procedure.
The small interplay between Tim and Lucy after the taking pictures was actually certainly one of my favourites of theirs this season, the familiarity and real safeness they felt inside one another was so intimate. It’s extremely candy that we are able to see that they’re conserving one another up to date on what’s going on of their lives. Lucy is clearly on her solution to absolutely forgiving him, which makes me so completely satisfied for Tim contemplating all of the work he has put into himself and their relationship.
Usually I really like when prolific murders are caught, nevertheless the seize and dying of Malvado to me felt like a storyline that shouldn’t have ended, his return would have been the right alternative for Bailey to face some repercussions since an harmless girl died together with a person who ought to have been despatched again to jail after she primarily dedicated a felony.

I actually cherished Miles’ method to the brand new coaching movies and having Tim star in them in order that he would play within the soccer recreation was good. Tim’s softer aspect has actually began to shine via and I’m so completely satisfied that he’s therapeutic mentally for the primary time in his life.
The ending of this episode is what I class as the right ending to an episode, LAPD vs LAFD. It introduced some lightness to the episode, and I smiled all through it, it was so good to see all of them have fun and have enjoyable. LAPD for the win all the time!
Performer of The Week :
Melissa O’Neil is my selection performer of the week, I completely cherished how Lucy carried herself this week exhibiting her authority but in addition her softer aspect when wanted, unimaginable as all the time!
