Character of the Week: Nyla Harper
This was very a lot Nyla’s episode, and for the best way she dealt with the strain and hazard related to the case, I feel she deserves Character of the Week. She has been intuitive and clearheaded all alongside, however this time, she confirmed her mettle as a eager investigator and no-nonsense officer. Her instincts about Glasser have been proper on course, and he or she didn’t again off, even when Gray appeared considerably reluctant to let her interrogate him. Her willpower for the reality, significantly when everybody else gave the impression to be overlooking the plain, was outstanding.
Actually commendable was the cool means she stored her head below strain. In a sea of chaotic conditions, Nyla stored her head above all of it, composed and targeted. We noticed even when she walked in upon Dearborn’s confession, and the way she pushed her means into interrogating Glasser, wheels have been turning right down to the tiniest element. Her quiet energy and knack for difficult with out being overbearing actually made her shine. Moments like this proceed to show how invaluable she really is to this group, and I am so excited to see the place her instincts take her subsequent. (And, truthfully, slightly scared for what’s to return.)

Ship of the Week: Bailan
The dynamic between Nolan and Bailey on this episode actually stored me intrigued this episode. This episode simply gave us extra depth relating to the care and belief between the 2. When Nolan went to see Bailey on the hospital, that was simply such a candy, susceptible second for each of them. What actually stood out was how their bond has advanced because the first time Jason confirmed up. There’s this unstated understanding between them, and it’s in these small moments of quiet connection that they actually shine. They’ve obtained one another’s backs, and there’s a heat of their relationship that balances out all of the chaos surrounding them.
Now, issues may take a flip with how she just about was an confederate to homicide. I am extraordinarily curious the place that may lead, and if Nolan will be capable of put his spouse over the legislation.
