grimorieOh, man, this was worth the wait. So many things going on and Charlie at the center, shaking things up.
Jack Reese is really as awful as I suspected, it's no wonder Dani grew-up as messed up as she did with Jack as her father. But most of all I love how Charlie and Reese's partnership has developed further. I love that Reese can rein him in when needed and that she deliberately chose to side with Charlie. The moment when Dani watched Charlie and her father argue was so fraught with tension, I can imagine how she's being pulled in all directions especially when Davis came to sit next to her.
Dani made a conscious choice to separate her personal life and her work life and at that moment both aspects of her life collided. I love that Charlie and Reese finally had a real conversation about the things they were dancing around and at the end of the episode she gave back his knife to him (and, God, I love the continuity here!).
On a very shallow note, they wore their bullet proof vests again! This show loves me! But I kinda miss Reese's avaiator glasses.
I think this is the first time I felt that Constance felt like a part of the show, not just something separate from the plot, it works that she's in the DA. But most of all, this is the first time I really felt for Charlie, he always plays things close to his chest that sometimes I even buy his zen. I love that he smiled when Reese decided to stay on as his partner and I loved that he brought the kid up to the helicopter. It's the little things.
Davis also seems like she's being pulled into two directions. She wants her department clean and having Charlie around is making things complicated but then again, the little smile she had when Charlie and Reese figured out that the boy was kidnapped also seemed to indicate that she liked having two effective detectives working under her. But she seems to really defer to Jack even after he's retired.
God, this show... just keeps getting better and better.
Random things I liked:
- Reese and cats and the look of disgust on her face. Priceless.
- Reese finally asking about the fruit thing and alluding the one thing she'd probably miss is sex and Charlie saying that Reese would miss fruits too.
- Charlie and his bag of oranges and his tiny pineapple.
- Reese returning Charlie's knife.
