Another good episode.

8.7

By therockstop, Jul 24, 2008

I thought this episode was just as good or better than the pilot. William and the crew decide to help a woman's daughter who is in trouble pro bono. After tailing her for a while they realize she is not on drugs but is a drug mule. Meanwhile William and Melissa are called to school about Lula only to find out she is not in trouble but is acting to perfect. William is still mourning the death of his friend. This episode actually had a few funny spots in it to break up all the serious parts. I laughed pretty hard in the scene with Arnie and the old man with the metal detector.

I really liked this episode and think the show has much potential if it gets it's chance.moreless

- (Talking to God about Mick's death.)
  William: I'm looking at this from all sides, trying to keep an open mind, but this this doesn't even come close to making sense. I mean, you tell me how you justify this one. You tell me how how to find the reason why. Why? I put my trust in you, my faith. And I'm not even a religious man. This whole arrangement is based on my my lack of religion. And where does that leave us? Am I supposed to am I supposed to continue doing your work? And where does that leave me? I mean, in terms of this leap of faith? Because you and me, we don't have faith or religion or trust. What do we have?

  Melissa: Hotel room in Miami?
  William: Here in the house.
  Melissa: You're a romantic.
  William: At least it was in our own bed, our own room.
  Melissa: I guess that's how you know it was a dream, huh.
  EDIT SHARE
- Melissa: Is that vomit, that smell?
  William: If it makes you feel any better, it's not mine.

ALLUSIONS (2)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- William: One of the best ways to learn in life is by making mistakes. Does that does that make sense?
  Lula: "Mistakes are the portals of discovery." James Joyce said that.
  William: Right. H-he said it, th-then I said it.
  
  Lula is using an often misquoted line from James Joyce's Ulysses, Episode 9, where, during a discussion at the National Library, John Eglinton says that Shakespeare made a mistake, and Stephen replies, "Bosh! A man of genius makes no mistakes. His errors are volitional and are the portals of discovery."
  EDIT SHARE
- Melissa: We're not exactly The Waltons. You sleep on a twin bed in the den.
  
  Melissa is referring to the hit television drama The Waltons that aired in the 1970s about a Depression-era family living in rural Virginia. It was a family oriented show that included an iconic scene at the end of each episode where family members bid each other good night from inside the darkened home.
