I loved Danny and Jamie working together. I wish they would do that more often.

The discussions of how everyone would still end up working during the dream vacation sounded like the cheesiest 1970/1980s action adventure series two part episode, and also something that I now want to watch. 90-120 minute movie on Paramount+ please.

 I also want to see a family vacation--including Jack (but not Nikki).   Whoever said Danny would clash with local law enforcement with a day was spot on.   Out of the ideas floated, I want to see them all on a cruise.  It would be like a cross between The Love Boat and Murder, She Wrote.

 I know a lot of people don't like the Dream Team, but I enjoy how they've bonded and look out for each other.  I thought it was cute when they boys showed up with "Garrett and Gormley to see you"  with Frank popping back with "Tell them to ho away".

YES! Someone else sees the potential. It would be so cheesy and so wonderful, or possibly awesomely bad. You could have Henry suspecting a crooked dealer at the casino. I'm not sure how Danny would end up clashing with local law enforcement during a shore excursion, but it would totally happen. At the bar, Erin overhears people talking about financial crimes. Jamie ends up mediating some kind of dispute between passengers or helping someone find something they lost. Frank has to make a major decision about something work related when he comes back. There's some kind of super important deadline, but the team tells him not to think about it and enjoy the vacation. 

Paramount+, make this happen!

Not really sure why Abigail was suspended. She stopped an assault in progress. 🤷🏾‍♀️ #GAdetective

I think it was said that the accusing sergeant was with a bunch of his friends, so a lot of corroboration of his side of things. But like the bosses in the precinct wouldn't make it crystal clear that the people they're messing with are the two personal advisors to the Commissioner? It would be made quite clear that to pursue that course of action would not in his best interest. I mean, even if Baker got a rip for it, in BlueBloodsWorld™, Frank would have the guy walking a midnight foot post in the Rockaways for the rest of his career, or shoveling out horse crap from the Mounted Unit's barn in Central Park. And no precinct boss would want to be in the crosshairs of 1PP either. That whole story was utterly stupid.

Tired of the DA crap. Just go away, storyline. One way or the other. Liked Tweedle-dee and Tweedle-dum's case with Bugs.

Regarding Creepy Stalker Guy. If she's that scared, file for an order of protection and make an official complaint. Bullshit they couldn't act on those accusations. At least kick it up to the detective division to investigate.

They did that. They rented a house (or two) at the shore. There was fun, bickering, and overall, none of the professionals could stand down and relax. (They might even have solved a crime or mystery while they were there.) That might be why they never attempted another one. Also, it was difficult getting all of them together at the same time (not everyone was thrilled to go, either, but Henry insisted).

He lied, yes, and his buddies backed him up.

 

Regarding the description above, taken from the network blurb (not complaining about our moderator), doesn’t CI, in cop lingo stand for confidential informant? I noticed it first on my DVR description.
