THE BEGINNING:
Loved the bit with the suit trying to catch the ferry. And he misses it. But then he checks down and sees a body floating, and omg it's a girl in a mermaid outfit. Love how Lindsay has started saying puns too. Stella is on a case again already?
THE CASES:
The first case is the one with the mermaid girl who is found drowned. We first see Danny in the river and all I could think of is "ew he shouldn't be swimming in that water." I love the reference to the Mermaid Parade. Mac is great because of that. We can see Lindsay with the girl and she is definitely affected by this girl's death. Most likely because her story reminds her of hers. Country girl comes out to the city, not knowing what she is in for. Maybe the part with the dad isn't the same, but it's definitely affected her. You can especially tell that the girl's dad upsets Lindsay. And she definitely fell for his story with how she would call. I couldn't help but feel sorry for the girl with her, "tell daddy I love him."
I had to say when they had the guy in interrogation Lindsay was rather feisty. And you could tell Danny noticed. And later we know he told Mac about it since he was upset about it. What's the saddest about this one is that the guy just randomly did it. He didn't even know her. He had no reason WHY he killed her. There was no connection. And of course Lindsay can't stand it and she follows him to jail because of it. Then the second case is the one with the man who has two wives. I love the expressions of everyone when the second wife comes to the scene. When we see the vic again, I thought ew since the guy shot in the eye. The viewer can note that Stella still looks shaken. I love how the wife, first one, mentions how they are Trinogomous. Yet they do all the "normal stuff"
I did feel as if this case was kind of a "duh" case. I mean it was obvious from the start the wife did it. Beware a woman's scorn and all that. I mean seriously. No wife, especially a newlywed, is okay with another girl honing in on her guy. No way she's felt it's too old already.
The only interesting bit of this case was the whole girlfriend who killed a previous boyfriend because he would've killed her. It's sad to see how much Frankie affected her as when Mac provokes her, you can tell Stella remembers Frankie. You can see she was insulted with how he treated her. And you know that before Frankie, she wouldn't have been like that. While I do feel bad for Stella, I love that Mac provoked her. He got her to slap him and so she would have to go in for assaulting an officer. It's kind of dramatic that she doesn't think Stella believes her. But Stella knows. She knows. And the other small interesting bit was the someone watching. But we still knew that the wife did it. I mean, really.
FAVORITE SCENES:
I loved the bit with the wheat field and how Danny responds to her sarcastic tease with "what's there to see? It's just wheat." Mwahhahahah. He is so cute.
It was cute to see the whole reins bit with Sid and how she says, "you think Danny calls me Montana because I am a 49ers fan?" And Sid says no he's got a crush on you. I love her expression; she seems kind of embarrassed and flattered.
Also loved the scene with Sid commenting about threesomes. And I loved how Hawkes just had this whole expression, as if he was thinking: "TMI!" And then we have Hawkes with Mac in the apartment commenting on how he expected to see something like Robo Spanker, and Mac is all, TMI now.
I loved Mac studying the rape and Adam saying he'll catch him. I love ADAM! He is so cute. You can tell though he is still nervous around Mac. He has been for several episodes. The cutie.
EXTRA BITS:
I love Lindsay. I think Anna Belknap is a wonderful actress. But I mean really. Her whole, WHY scene was a bit much. I didn't see the need for it. A bit like the whole scene with Nick and his inmate. It wasn't necessary.
Pratt complaining about surveillance, which makes me wonder, what is going on. It makes me think Aiden is up to something. She is wily.
OVERALL:
This was an excellent episode, despite the obvious case. I think the funny bits made up for everything. Most definitely. I like the continuing of the Pratt story. He is such a jerk.moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA- When entering the room of the threesome, Hawkes refers to expecting a robo-spanker. There actually was a robot spanker in the lab in Season 1's episode Hush. Edit
- Goof: Two people in a relationship is MONOgamy (committed to one person). Three people in a relationship is BInogamy/bigamy (committed to two people). The wives in this episode claim that they are TRInogamous. But that would add up to four people in the relationship (each committed to three people). Edit

Quotes
ADD QUOTES- Stella: How did you know she was going to slap you? Mac: I didn't. I thought she'd give me a little punch in the arm. Edit
- Mac: Sometimes bad things happen to good people, and you don't get to know why. Edit
- Sid: Have you ever had a threesome? (Hawkes stares at Sid and drops bullet into evidence envelope) Edit
-
Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS- Hawkes mentions a robo-spanker as one of the things he would expect to find in the married threesome's house. This is an allusion to 1x16 Hush, in which Danny and Aiden worked a case about human bondage where one of the items confiscated was a robo-spanker. Edit
- James Vackner: (After he is confronted with proof that he was the mermaid murderer) So it goes. This line can be a possible reference to the Kurt Vonnegut's novel Slaughterhouse Five, where "So it goes" was said when any character died. Edit
- Mermaid Parade: At the beginning of the episode, Mac and Stella make a reference to the Coney Island Mermaid Parade after they pull the mermaid out of the water. The Coney Island Mermaid Parade, which began in 1983, was started by Dick Zigun, founder of Coney Island, USA. The Mermaid Parade celebrates the start of the Summer season, and pays homage to original Coney Island Mardi Gras parades from the early 20th century. It takes place annually on the first Saturday of Summer- rain or shine. Edit
