Not as bad as other CIA episodes, but I wish they would just get back to the original concept of this show - helping people who have no where else to turn. I'm an old lady and really miss the hell out of God Friended Me (and going way back, Highway To Heaven) and I am sick to death of all the violence and guns going off and blood being spilled. CBS Sunday night - lets kill lots 'o bad people - thats how we save the world. Dunno if Fisk will be back or not, but the guy has more hairstyles than Robyn. What is up with that (and the one he had this episode was seriously fugly)? Speaking of hair, makeup, and clothing, has the budget been cut this season or did they just get a new crew? Aunt Vi still has her hair, but it seems as if they have opted for easier (?) to maintain styles for Robyn and Dee. The makeup seems a bit more natural (no more red lips for Mel) and the clothing not as noticible. Again, no more over the top outfits for Mel - they have her looking like she's ready to lunch with Long Island girlfriends. Was that do to her stepping away from the team or for production costs? Anyway, it just seems that the show has a different "vibe" this season.

Frankly, I thought that this episode was a clusterf*ck. The entire premise was beyond stupid and then to insert the Jimmy/Jess hashing out their relationship in an RV no less, while on the brink of WW III made me wish that whoever wrote this crap stayed on strike.

I'm a big jazz fan and these songs aren't jazz. And Adrian Dunbar sure as hell isn't a jazz singer.

It was pretty amazing to watch the guy being interviewed and deny, deny, deny, that he killed his ex-girlfriend and not even blink. It's amazing that the other victim lived, but with terrible impairments. He at least found love - I hope that the killer rots in jail the rest of his life.

The season finale - a pretty good case with alot of twists and turns, and as I predicted, Ridley and Annie. But you know that we haven't not seen the last of her now-ex boyfriend, because the guy is a rotter. Wanna bet next season will have an episode where Annie is in danger and it will probably be via the ex. Gosh, and I thought the song was merely bad - I think "horrific" is even better! It sounded like something that Petula Clark would've sung circa 1965, except that she would have made it listenable. I'll duck when the tomatoes are thrown at me by his fans, but I still dislike this actor's singing.

I think that Matthew shot her after she got him enraged about something. Again, another case where you don't want to blame the victim for what happened to them, but my take on this is that was a very screwed up young woman who had a knack for knowing how to push people's buttons and it killed her in the end.

I have no idea who "Petra" is, but my brain kept calling Shea "Not Taylor Swift".

Am I mistaken - was Mel, kickass woman, and Soldier of Fortune, taking a yoga/meditation class from Dee, the highschool kid, or was it the other way around? Because if Mel was taking the instruction from Dee, it adds to the stupidity of the episode. As much as I love the cast of this show, it's becomming hard to watch.

I could do without the jazz club crap also, but I think the show is setting up Ridley and Annie getting (back?) together. Even if the boyfriend's ideas for the club are on the money, if he and Annie were in a real partnership, he would actually be discussing these ideas with her and not just cutting her out of the decision making. He's showing himself to be a controlling jerk (and probably an unfaithful one at that) and that he doesn't view Annie as being equal in their relationship or club ownership. I predicted that he was going to be shown to be a rotter or get bumped off (maybe both), but the end game here (because this show is another filled with cliches) is Ridley and Annie being a couple.

I don't think that the guy killed anybody prior to killing the common law wife and her friend (at least from what the police know), but I'm pretty sure that the detective mentioned that prior to the murdered common law wife, the guy had already been married twice. So that would make Kasi wife number 4.

I guess that it still amazes me how easily women fall for the "perfect man" crap. It's like we've been fed all of this stuff about "romance" from such a young age that these "romantic" gestures (flowers just because, notes, gushy cards for no special reason) become the stock in trade for psychopaths looking to marry and murder women for their money and/or life insurance. If some guy came onto me with that kind of stuff, I'd run for the hills because (I hate to break it to you ladies) normal guys don't do that! Lisa was really lucky - she dodged what was probably a very real bullet. If I was listening to one of the detectives in the first case correctly, John actually had TWO prior wives before the first one that he murdered.

I have to agree with the Jack storyline; this kid had it so bad at home and he was "so" neglected, that even though his mother is a cop, he wound up amongst a bunch of people selling drugs? And was so stupid to stash a gun on a police consultant's boat that he had been working on? The season isn't over? Head slapping myself here. I figured that the "cliffhanger" was Ridley brooding about the bar and Annie's new boyfriend. My guess is that the guy is still either going to turn out to be a bad guy or he'll be bumped off in some way. And alias1, we'll have to agree to disagree on Ridley's singing. I love the song and hated his rendition. Jerry Orbach he ain't. I also roll my eyes as he's supposed to be singing with a jazz trio on a tiny stage as all these syrupy strings and other instruments soar in the background. It would work better (and be more believable) if they just had him singing with the trio and kept it simple.

the interview with Tim Alberta was interesting; I thought that his take on why so many evangelicals support a guy like Trump made sense. A good Christian "decent" person wouldn't fight dirty enough to win the battle. I guess that nobody thinks of "you lie down with dogs, you come up with fleas". I was ready to throw a shoe at my TV almost every time Buck Sexton opened his mouth. Another in the mold of J.D. Vance, right down to the "look". Guys like that would sell their mothers down the river for power - I'm very happy that Lauren Coates was there to call him out.

I got a laugh from the attempt to force Hendrik into being examined, even though it was illegal as hell. You'd think that Lena would have also given him some kind of sedative, although maybe it would have been dangerous with all of the booze he had been drinking. So the hit woman was working with the murdered scientist's loser addict son? How sorry was that, to deprive the world of a lifesaving treatment all due to some kind of revenge. And the back and forth between Piet and the ex is annoying as hell, and I guess that we'll be stuck with her as with the baby stuff being dropped and her sly answer to Lucienne, we're to assume that she is a baby mama with Piet being the daddy. Double ugh. I would've rather seen Lena announce that she was preggers than be stuck with this obnoxious former girlfriend. This is turning into a show that I might not want to revisit in the future.

Well, I guess that the murder in the book was kind of a red herring and the real clues were all the Lion/Leo things. Now I don't feel so bad being so confused. That being said, I enjoyed the series and was happy that Susan and Andreas stayed together and had a happy ending. I will miss this show!
