S03.E15: Knockout

The team ends up in the middle of a kidnapping case when a prizefighter 's wife is abducted.

There were some pretty good scenes that pulled at the heartstrings, like Daddy Hondo admitting to Darryl that abandoning his kids was the worst mistake of his life and Tan's scenes with his mother and Bonnie.

I also think Shemar Moore is great at pumping people up. No matter what the message is, he can always make it inspirational.

"It's not how much money you'll pay...it's how much do you want it?"

True that.

Outside of all that...and a reappearance by the always great Kareem Grimes...this was a pretty rote episode. It does get a few points in that the SWAT team waited until after the opening bell to rescue the boxer's wife (when usually shows would have her rescued before the opening bell just so she could be ringside and inspire her husband), but, other than that, you knew how the episode would play out.

It also loses points because Deacon stupidly entered the hiding spot without backup...I know "time was of the essence" but c'mon...a few minutes waiting for backup wouldn't screw up the mission. It would have screwed up the plot, though.

A split decision tonight.
