    Spoilers inside, but generally a wonderful episode. Greatly plotted, funny quotes, and witty scenes. Also interesting cases. hide show

    The Beginning:
    A laundry facility is bustling, amazing machines whirring and lifting up bags, and suddenly? A body flops out, half naked. This was a wonderful beginning to the episode, because it is just such a random way to find a body. I mean really? You put the sheets in the facility to be cleaned. Not to find a body. The Cases:
    Danny’s case turns out to be nothing but a misdemeanour. And despite what Mac tells him, he continues with the case. He feels there is something more to it, but in fact there isn’t. it is just a misdemeanor. Personally, I don’t care what Mac says, I loved the fact that Danny went through with the case. Omar was sweet, despite the fact that he put the vic the homeless guy in jail, we find out he did it to give him a nice warm place to sleep. Very sweet indeed. And Danny seemed to take the sweetness and do it as well. He wanted to talk for this homeless guy. Then there was Mac’s case which was the body that was found in the laundry. This is a case of the elite sticking together and getting away with what they wanted. It was great to see that justice was served, but at the same time you felt bad for Costas, I mean his one true love was killed. Yes he’s killed his friend’s love in the past, but he didn’t have to take his revenge by killing Costas’ love. It was really wicked and disturbing to see the flashback with the killer watching and just waiting for them to wake up, so he could see Costas’ reaction.

    Favorite Scene:
    Though I am a D/L Fan, I must say I thought it was cute how jealous/annoyed Danny was when Omar Lilly decided to flirt with Aiden. It seems its Danny’s month, (or two).

    This is an alteration of Robert Duvall's famous line from Apocalypse Now. The original line is, "I love the smell of napalm in the morning. Smells like victory." []
  • Chad Willingham: Check out what J. Lo sleeps on.
