I thought this episode was not quite as good as previous ones, but I still enjoyed it. I thought Lala's comment about not meeting at the office early was wise, they are neither of them good candidates for a relationship at this point. I kinda wondered if the informant's warning to Lala about the drug dealer was some foreshadowing for her. Ugh.

When Mike and Gibbs were with Mike's son, they discussed his son's mother.

I have always liked Mike Franks and now I love him!

I haven't seen the actual episode, but this blooper cracks me up.

Glad I'm not the only one trying to figure out who these women are. I think two of the women at the house were sisters of Lala, but adding two more brunettes is crazy talk. There are plenty of blond haired women in Southern California. I'm waiting to see if Lala will be flattered or frustrated by Franks' comment. I don't remember the Bug guy at all.

Seriously, if they got rid of the sister, they could focus on the repartee between Reba and Melissa and let the new characters develop. And maybe this time around, Reba can get the guy instead of Barbara Jean!

I have to agree. I cancelled my recording of it, I won't be watching it. It seemed promising, but it didn't deliver for me.

I did not care for that whole arc. It was clear to me that Booth was on the rebound and when he went so far as to propose, that was too far for me. I thought if she knew she wasn't going to stay around for the long haul, once she saw he was looking for someone to settle down with, she should have backed away.

I wasn't able to make it through the second episode. I figured when Bobbie insisted she knew best how to run things, it would set the stage for her to be wrong and be more open to other ideas. Now, maybe that didn't happen, but it was all feeling so heavy-handed and predictable that I got bored. I like the secondary characters more than the stars, at this point.

Thank you!

And she was taking some psychology courses in college but is ready to psychoanalyze everyone and offer insights into HR practices. Like opening up the boss's office to everyone to hang out was a good idea?

I kept waiting for Elsbeth to suggest she do some sort of independent study on opera so she could get those units out of the way from having watched operas on this case, or maybe watching a few more with the tickets they were told they could use. All in all, a good episode, and I'm glad the show is back.

I watched it last night and liked it. It was like visiting an old friend, although Reba doesn't look that much older. Hoping someone will start a forum for that show.

Interesting perspective. If they had two new people, I would find it easier to drift away from the show, for sure.

I agree with all you said. Personally, I wished Reba had found someone by the end. She deserved someone better than Brock. We didn't even need to meet the guy, just someone off screen that had some strong potential for her. Sure, she's a survivor, but she deserved to have someone for her to lean on after all those seasons of everyone leaning on her.
