dating nurses (DN) Courtney and Jasmin or married nurses (MN) Alyssa and Josiah?

i think that they are setting up officer stone face to be Elsbeth's new handler. I also think that removing the format of us seeing the crime, then seeing the battle of wits ensue is turning this show from an homage to Colombo to a standard crime of the week.

we have a team of married nurses and a team of dating nurses. This is going to get confusing in comments if we don't distinguish them. I'm going to call one team DN and one team MN. I'll decide which abbreviation for which team later, but I have an inkling where this will go. FWIW - i thought yelling "emergency" when there was none was the most heinous thing on this episode.

no, I don't think that Seth is that kind of mastermind. I don't believe his aw shucks naivety, but I don't believe him to be a mastermind. Faking medical documents like that would require access to hospital records, knowledge of how the medical system works, experience in ops to access internal systems, perhaps even an in with local police to tweek or corroborate their records with the story they have created in the medical records for Seth. Still sounds like evil mastermind Bailey to me.

That picture of Bailey sure looks like a super villain addressing her minions. Might just be me.

perhaps they are setting up a jaded Bailey as the next super-villian? you heard it here first.

putting my words into a fictional character's mouth, but I think that Nolan's big judgement is "we said no more secrets" and Bailey responded that if he didn't understand why it as a secret he didn't understand her and then took offense and focused on her perception of his judgement. I read it that Nolan is judging on her inability to be open and honest in their marriage and she is responding as if his judgement is on her actions. YMMV

yeah, this. I immediately warmed to Van Ness as a potential sparring opponent for Elsbeth and then poof! all better now. sigh.

so I don't expect a lot of realism from this show, but ... how did that guy under the trailer hatch door pull the rug all nice and tidy over the hatch after he was under it? Jason seemed to get hit in the lower abdomen, kidney area. How did he die so instantly? Sure, a hit to the liver would have him bleed out fast, but not die instantly, or would it? Seems like sloppy something in both places.

overall, I liked the episode, but having an exit password at all for the dome was problematic. having it different ... well if you were trapping someone there and they had seen the entry code then they would not be trapped. more problematic was the artificial turf in the dome. I would have expected anything but plastic grass.

Went to tune into this week's show. hold it. they were serious? it's really over? I refuse to give up hope!!

I would have like Baez to be at the final dinner, and for Erin/Jack to not chicken out with their remarriage news. A few (or more) seasons back Frank went into a bar and ordered "Irish, ice in a separate glass" Since then that has been my drink for episodes. Yes, they drank a lot of scotch (as do i :) ) but that "ice in a separate glass seemed so very Frank to me - trust, but verify as he would know the truth of the measurement the bartender was serving. I've been timing out my current bottle of Irish and tonight I had my last "Irish, ice in a separate glass" for was what actually a pretty good episode. Siobhan at the writing helm pretty much guaranteed that. Was a good end.
