Mad about Homicide is definitely one in every of my high 5 episodes of the season, excessive stakes, a number of storylines and a bit of little bit of quaint Rookie enjoyable.
The beginning of this episode is arguably one in every of my favorite begins to an episode, Tim displaying his private aspect to Miles admitting he desires to win the LAPD vs LAFD soccer sport, it was positively giving me season 2 Bradford vibes and I adore it. I’ll be trustworthy I used to be positively shocked when the random dude confirmed up studying out the transcript for the hit staff.
Nathan Fillion actually does shine by way of when he will get to play humour and Nolan stealing Bailey’s gear is a major instance of that.
I’m such a sucker for storylines coming again and being talked about in television exhibits, which is why I completely love the Celina and Lucy storyline this episode. Celina actually has been shining since she turned a P2, and that is no totally different. Stopping her mom from divulging data throughout her interview with Heather for the Mad About Homicide podcast. Then ripping into her was positively one in every of my favorite components of the episode. The girl making an attempt to realize Lucy and Celina’s assist was positively decided and I’m undecided how a lot I favored Karla saying that they’d assist, however inevitably we knew that they’d.

I actually felt for Nyla and James when nobody turned up on time for the reform assembly, they put all this effort into serving to higher the police power however have been let down. I really do hope that over time we’ll get to see correct help for them and their trigger.
Tim’s case requiring the feds involvement solely means one factor, excessive stakes and an incredible storyline.
I actually have come to love Miles and he actually is beginning to come out of his shell and suggesting altering the coaching movies exhibits how a lot he loves the job. The coaching movies are among the funniest and most inaccurate coaching movies I’ve seen and I’m positively glad that Miles is updating them, perhaps this is the reason Seth was so unhealthy at his job!
The murderer web site not being a prank was not one thing I used to be anticipating, it’s positively very actual. The people who find themselves targets are lower than useful however regardless Angela and Tim needed to interview them simply in case.
Smitty actually is among the greatest characters on the present, saying “time is cash” and making Miles pay to talk to him is strictly what I’d anticipate Smitty to do. Typically Smitty has some little nuggets of real knowledge, however this was not a kind of moments. I feel Miles leaves the dialog extra confused than helped.
We at all times like to see The Mid-Wilshire crew in tactical gear and this time isn’t any totally different, there’s at all times a component of shock when they’re in tactical gear, be it that Angela was taken to Guatemala in season 4 or like this time the hit man has been hit himself.
Celina and Lucy interviewing Aria’s ex-boyfriend is extremely attention-grabbing. Lucy places her abilities into play when she notices the importance of Aria having two social media accounts, when her sister Taylor had solely talked about one account. Her household disagreeing together with her option to have the child made me suppose that she had simply run away to flee the scrutiny. Aria’s ex-boyfriend could have been a jerk for leaving her to cope with being pregnant on her personal, however he did at the least assist Lucy and Celina to find her.
Personally I like a stroll and speak scene; Nolan, Tim and Angela discussing the hitman being murdered was very entertaining, Nolan making the joke “this murderer sport is homicide” falling flat on Angela and Tim jogged my memory of Fort and the way Ryan and Esposito would reply to one in every of Fort’s jokes.
Heather actually did bug me on this episode, solely caring about Taylor and Aria’s story as soon as the cops have been concerned was very shady. I completely beloved Lucy on this scene, it positively confirmed how good she might be as soon as she makes sergeant (as if we didn’t already know), Taylor admitting that she agreed together with her dad and mom on Aria’s determination to have the child furthered my suspicion that she was pushed away from the household.
It was extremely bizarre to see Nolan driving and Tim within the passenger’s seat, however we didn’t have a lot time to concentrate on that as they have been chasing after Danny Fang, who was then fatally stabbed as he was fleeing. I used to be positively not anticipating him to be stabbed, from the promo we knew that Malvado was going to kill somebody that they have been chasing however I used to be anticipating a protracted vary shot not a close-range stabbing.

Some extra Miles and Gray, father son duo is strictly what this episode wanted, Gray encouraging Miles to only get began on the coaching movies was such a small scene however one I positively beloved. You possibly can see their bond rising all through the episodes.
Nolan being the one to announce that he discovered Malvado genuinely shocked me, I half anticipated him to maintain it a secret because it may have introduced up repercussions for Bailey and her actions, and likewise on him for mendacity.
The change between Kaylie and Zach was hilarious, her pretending to maintain up the gag and that they wouldn’t spill something and a straight reduce to Zach who was speaking like he’d been given reality serum.
Tim and Angela’s hang around after work was by far my favorite scene on this episode and presumably in the entire season to this point. I’ve missed the Bropez friendship being on our screens, and this was an ideal technique to deliver it again, over a pleasant drink of Palm Republic.
My quote of the week is from Angela on this scene “hate to interrupt it to ya, however I’m not one of many guys, you’re one of many women and women need gossip, so spill it” – I do love Angela at all times clocking Tim and his emotions, I additionally love the truth that she isn’t afraid to inform him when he’s tousled. They are surely a incredible friendship.
Lucy apologising to Celina concerning the podcast actually showcased how genuinely good Lucy is as an individual, that’s one factor they’ve constantly confirmed this season with Lucy’s character. Lucy and Celina positively burdened me out by going to the home with no again as much as start with, however they positively can deal with themselves.
Celina going into the home on her personal while Lucy was outdoors severely spiked my concern for her, and rightfully so when she pushed down the steps. Lucy got here in with essentially the most badass roll into the room the place the girl had a knife to the child, she was positively an absolute psychopath. I beloved the very fact Celina was in a position to assist another person save their sister and their child. I feared that Lucy could have killed the girl, nevertheless I used to be glad when she instructed Tim that she made it out of surgical procedure.
The small interplay between Tim and Lucy after the taking pictures was actually one in every of my favourites of theirs this season, the familiarity and real safeness they felt inside one another was so intimate. It’s extremely candy that we are able to see that they’re maintaining one another up to date on what’s going on of their lives. Lucy is clearly on her technique to totally forgiving him, which makes me so completely happy for Tim contemplating all of the work he has put into himself and their relationship.
Usually I like when prolific murders are caught, nevertheless the seize and demise of Malvado to me felt like a storyline that shouldn’t have ended, his return would have been the right alternative for Bailey to face some repercussions since an harmless girl died together with a person who ought to have been despatched again to jail after she primarily dedicated a felony.

I actually beloved Miles’ method to the brand new coaching movies and having Tim star in them in order that he would play within the soccer sport was excellent. Tim’s softer aspect has actually began to shine by way of and I’m so completely happy that he’s therapeutic mentally for the primary time in his life.
The ending of this episode is what I class as the right ending to an episode, LAPD vs LAFD. It introduced some lightness to the episode, and I smiled right through it, it was so good to see all of them have fun and have enjoyable. LAPD for the win at all times!
Performer of The Week :
Melissa O’Neil is my selection performer of the week, I completely beloved how Lucy carried herself this week displaying her authority but in addition her softer aspect when wanted, unimaginable as at all times!
