"Perfect"

By JPPT1974, Aug 22, 2006 Report Abuse

This show is a good way to kick off the
Second season of the show as a triple homocide is
Investigated and this is the last case Lily was working on
Before she joined the Cold Case squad. Also Jeffries wants to help out as he grew up in that neighborhood.
Very well acted and well written IMO!

ADD ALLUSIONS
- Derek Lincoln: Hey, my mama didn't raise no fool now. Mama Didn't Raise No Fool is a famous 1988 blues song by Joe Louis Walker. The line is also included in the lyrics of Changes by 2Pac (Tupac Shakur), which is probably the reason Derek is quoting it. Edit
