Sunny Wednesday morning caught Sam and Andy having coffee together. As predicted, Andy’s still upset about what happened with the trial and Oliver. She’s being all bratty about it and instead of telling Andy to get it together and act like an adult and do her job and respect her boss, Sam decided the best thing to do is to wait for Andy to come around. Which she did, of course, because character development, duh. But that only happened at the end of the episode.
This is what I look like too when I'm torn between which snacks to choose.
Poor, poor Oliver. He’s not having a good time at work, at all. Kudos to Matt Gordon for portraying Oliver Shaw so well. Sergeant Shaw looked so torn during these last two episodes, having to juggle between work and family. He’s struggling to please the inspector and his officers at the same time. He wants to be a granola bar guy but in reality he’s really a candy bar guy. You can’t always have it both ways, but you can be what you want to be. Inspector Jarvis ordered Oliver to pull the plug on the raid led by Steve but he gave Steve the go ahead anyways. Which did not turn out as well as it was supposed to be. Why? Traci warned Dex about the raid because apparently that’s how he’s trying to pay for his legal fees, by gambling. Dex tipped the rest of his fellow gamblers off and Steve was not impressed when he found out about it from Traci. As predicted, Steve’s been following Dex to get some dirt on him to help Traci win the custody battle. A Peck’s gotta do what he’s gotta do to help his lady no matter what, right?
I’m still waiting to find out what Inspector Jarvis’s deal is with the division. Why is he still around? His presence is making me feel really worried for everyone.
Mcpeck FTW
Gail and Andy partnered up for this week and they made me realized just how much I miss Mcpeck before all the Nick drama last season. Nice Andy decided to take a break and be all mean and cynical throughout the episode. You know you got to do something about your attitude when Gail Peck the queen of snark and sass tells you to get over it and grow up. I need to point something out here. Gail mentioned that Oliver loves all of them and I think it’s a really big character growth for Gail. She knows she’s loved and she’s telling Andy to cut the bullshit. Gail Peck the peace advocate. She’s really come a long way from Gail “who cares as long as I’m happy” Peck. I could get used to that. Also, the more I see Gail’s new haircut the more I love it.
Dov being a supportive friend, brought Chris to a meeting which obviously did not work because this is a TV drama and we can’t have drug addict Chris try to be clean without relapsing at least once. Chris was being an insensitive jerk saying how he’s not like Dov’s junkie brother. Yes Chris, I’m sure you’re not, at all. Dov decided it was time to tell Oliver about Chris’s drug problem, but Chris managed to stop him and volunteered to go himself, making Oliver’s day even worse. I’m disappointed they didn’t show how the scene would unfold, since it’s a really significant part of Chris’s character this season and how damaging it would be to his career. You don’t just show the viewers of Chris walking up to Oliver’s office and that’s it. I don’t think this is the end of his drug storyline. It’s far too important to dismiss it like that and I hope we get to know more next week.
I'm sure it's the drugs talking.
Being too wrapped up with Chris's problems, Dov stood up the sergeant from the intelligence unit and his relationship with Chloe is not doing very well too. Dov is sacrificing his career and love life for his dear friend but Chris doesn't seem to be grateful at all. Drug addict Chris is not my favourite person at the moment.
Case of the week involved a home invasion that happened to be an inside job. This is the third Degrassi kid we’ve seen this season. Not that I’m complaining since I used to be a Degrassi fan. The kid shot himself in the head and despite of a gas leak which had me on the edge of my seat, he managed to survive thanks to Dov and Chris.
We did not get to see Duncan this week, which I'm grateful for because I just cannot deal with him right now.
I’m also waiting for Nick’s big storyline. The first half of the season is ending and we barely saw him, I hope this will change soon because he’s such a great character and it would be a waste if we don’t get to see much of his character arc in the final three episodes.
Next week, Wes is baaaack! This is going to be interesting. Also, be sure to watch the stakeout webisodes if you haven't already. Share with me what you think about Exit Strategy below!
