Constance - the lawyer. And confirmed that she has deeper feelings for Crewes, and although he wants to return them, he cannot, because she is still married. Interesting dynamic.

Homeless man - the star of this episode, undoubtedly. He was convincing as a desperate man - when he begged for Crewe's help broke my heart. He also interacted with Reese and Ted well - annoying both of them and trying to replace them to a certain degree. Hilarious stuff. And his fire-escape was particularly brilliant. As was his comment about trees and killing Ted.

Gay couple - homophobia still exists! OMG. Come on guys. We need better sidestories.

Overall a top notch episode. More homeless men please!moreless

The duo investigate the murder of a rich gay man in his home. Crews finds a homeless man that lives in the backyard and he becomes the key suspect, but Crews thinks he's innocent. In the end, it was just a plot to get money and frame other people to get away with. Naughty rich people ... I thought it was a good story. I liked Crews' interactions with the homeless man and I also like how Crews denied the lawyer. She was married; what was she thinking? Anyways, overall this episode had a good story and more good character development.moreless

Little advancement was made to Charlies overall plan of finding out what really happened that night until the end of the episode when he learned that Rachel seemed to never speak to anyone and that she often drew what see saw. Charlie is now convinced that Rachel saw the killer and was in fact in the house that night. The case is slowly coming together, which is fine as I expect it to be a very long 22 episode or so order before everything gets put together and Charlie figures out the mystery of why he spent 12 years in jail. I thought the case in the episode was pretty good too. I like how they give the weird cop a whole lot of weird characters to interact with. I think they gave the homeless guy a little too many scenes. He (along with Charlie) provided some of the humor for the episode, but at the end of the episode I did feel that he was a little overused to the overall plan of the episode. Liked the way that everything came together at the end. The husband of the gay guy and the wife of the other guy were both looking for massive amounts of money. I thought it was a believable ending to the story that I thought was going to go a different direction. The scene with Charlie and Constance was very moving and similar to the scene with reese in episode 2 really helped for both of their character devolopments. I thought it was interesting that Charlie was able to hold himself back from her and to be honest I didnt see this coming from her character. I like how every episode the little somethings you think you know about each character sort of changes into a little something else. Very interesting show - its got me moving onto episode 5.moreless

This is a great show and interesting each and every week. While Charlie and his reluctant partner try to solve cases, as Charlie is trying to solve his own case while he was sent to prison for twelve years. As they question the neighbors as a man is found dead. And they get different responses. Charlie feels sympathy for the homeless man having been in his shows before. While he learns that a guard was paid to take him out. Meanwhile, the lawyer that let him go, pays him a visit. Both seem to have feelings for one another. Great show along with great acting. Hope it will get even better.moreless

Another good episode with Crews getting closer to the conspiracy and meeting a friend. This case had a ton of odd characters to compliment Crews. You had a wife who swore up and down her husband was gay but wouldn't leave him, a homophobic security guard, a rarity on tv a gay couple, and a delusional drunk. The case had good twist and turns till we found the real killer and along the way more run ins with the man that put Crews away. His confrontations with him are rattling the detective and hopefully he'll make a mistake and help Crews find the answer to the conspiracy. As to his friend a cute character that kept calling him boss and was fun to watch with Crews. He left at the end of the show and hopefully he won't be back since we have so much to deal with already and another character will complicate things. On top of that we get complication on the growing romance between Crews and his lawyer. She married and Crews won't do adultery nice on his part. Fun episode once again the show manages not to disappoint.moreless
