Fight night is back! This week Sam goes back to work, Chloe is out of the hospital and drama ensues. New rookie Duncan was supposed to represent 15th but he chickened out right before the fight upon seeing his opponent. So the next appropriate contender is obviously Nick Collins. I thought it wasn’t a bad idea for him to channel all his feelings into the fight. Work out some tension. But about a minute into the fight I felt really bad for his face. Don’t hit his wonderful face!
Here's to new beginnings.
Sam and Andy shared a short exchange before parade. Something about change and new beginnings. It looks like Sam is genuinely trying to change for the better. The two work on a case together and it actually feels great to see them in a professional setting without all the drama going on because I need a break from all the “will they won’t they” drama these past two weeks. My heart goes out to Nick during the scene where Andy and Sam walked into the venue together while Nick was preparing for round 2. I felt bad for him. I thought seeing Andy with Sam would fuel up some rage in him and help him during the fight, but he lost anyway. It seems that Andy and Nick has closed the final chapter of the McCollins book. I can't help but think Nick used his fight’s loss as a metaphor of their relationship, to which I do not approve. This is not a game and Andy is not a prize! Andy doesn't seems to mind though. I can practically hear McSwarek fans rejoice throughout the episode. Although I wouldn’t be surprised if the writers decided that they’re not done teasing us with the trio yet.
Happy Gail is Happy me
One of the main highlights of the episode was Gail and Dov. They got partnered up for case of the week and it was an absolute delight to see them work together. Not going to lie, they make my PeckStein heart beat a little tonight. Still think it is kind of a shame the writers did not go there with them. I find them well suited for each other. PeckStein was on point this week, they are hilarious together.
Gail Peck has turned into a pile of giggly gooey mess, at least for a while before things went south with Holly. Gail admits to Dov that she is really serious about Holly, which is nice because she’s never talked about Chris or Nick like that. Gail and Holly’s honeymoon period only lasts this long when they’re at the Penny after shift to meet Holly’s friends. Holly’s friend, Dr Boob Job (can’t remember her name) tells Holly that Gail is out of her league and that she is a beat cop. Gail overhears their conversation on her way back from the washroom, sadness washes over her face and walk out of the bar. Holly tries to stop her, but Gail’s walls are up and ready to fire back, throwing a bunch of hurtful words at Holly. To be honest I’ve quite expected Gail to react the way she did, but I think she overreacted. Holly also could have defended Gail more and I want them to work it out because I really like them together. Holly is good for Gail.
Can we just take a moment to talk about Gail handing the cup of drink she spit into to Officer Luck? I love Evil Gail.
I don't know anything about boxing
I enjoyed the continuation of Nick and Chloe’s friendship from last season. I just hope it doesn’t turn into something more because I wouldn’t be able to handle another love triangle on the show. One is enough. Chloe is slowly becoming one of my favourite character on the show. Wouldn’t mind cheerful Chloe being best friends with brooding Nick.
Honourable mention – Duncan did not screw up this week!
Oh and I almost forgot, Chris was the one to put together the whole fight night thing and lost his nerves a bit when things wasn’t going his way. Luckily Chloe was there to stop him before he hurts the delivery man. Maybe he should have been in the fight. Work out all that transgression.
So what did you guys think about Fight Night? Do you think Andy and Nick are done done? And what’s up with Wes? What a shady man. Will Gail and Holly make amends? Let me know your thoughts. See ya’ll next week!
