The team investigates the death of a judge that was killed in his home while he was watching tv. It turned out that his daughter's boyfriend and brother killed him because he took them away from their father. I didn't think the case was that interesting. I expected the outcome so it was not mysterious. What I did like about this episode was Danny's side - story. He did not come into work and he went after Ruben's mom which went after her son's killer. In the end, Flack helps Danny and the mother is stopped. This episode had great character development.moreless

An exciting start fades as the main and final acts flounder into run of the mill. The plot isnt one of the most exciting for this show but does move along at more than a pounding pace. Dialogue is as you might imagine swift to the point and purposeful. This reinforces the framework of the plot so that one stays focused.

There are enough suspects to keep one guessing until the kicker clue is discovered and reasoning by Mack and co take us there.

The Sandoval storyline is also completed here in a better than average way. It wasnt exactly a big thing, but it brought the overall quality of this episode up a few notches, though the actual final scene was far from being anywhere what it could have been. Perhap if theyd stretched it to one more episode...?!

A very good episode, below what Ive come to expect this series but still better than most shows out there.moreless

A pretty good episode bringing an end to the Reuban's death/Danny storyline. The cases were pretty good a woman is shot and killed out of nowhere and the mother of Reuban the boy killed in an earlier episode with Danny goes after the man who was being shot at. It was fun watching the first case be solved but all being an accident of the gun being dropped off a building was lame. As to Danny getting past Reuban his case was well done also. Lots of action and at first it seemed as if Danny may at least think of menacing the man from the robbery. In the end Danny and Flack were closer after Flacks declaration that Danny is his friend that makes it his business. Good episode and hopefully Danny is guilt free and we can move on to other storylines.moreless

I'd say the episode was... ok. But that's it.

Well... the case was interesting. The gun was thrown out from the window, hit the gargoyle on its way down and killed a random person. Creepy when you think it could've been anyone but cleverly plotted. I too thought the bros had something to do with the judge's death. Sad when you think that they used Madison just to get closer to their future victim. And a thing to remember--popcorn is evil, heh.

And now let's say something about our heros. They didn't really rock out if you ask for my opinion. The whole Danny case was somehow... weird. Although I am glad Danny did not try to get revenge himself as we were suggested at first. When I saw his empty holster I thought "look, who's got emotional" (like you know... "follow your instincts"-kind of emotional) but he was just trying to turn things back right. Typical of him. And I hope he won't be anyhow punished for not reporting his gun missing since he took Ruben's mom to the precinct to confess. Flack cares for Danny. Lindsay cares for Danny (as if we didn't know, huh?). We did not get to see much of Mac or Stella this time but it's okay since people tend to complain the show focuses mainly on them anyway. Which I on the other hand do not mind.moreless
