I would actually love to see Athena with a probie going forward. Lots of potential for funny, touching and serious. Is there any kind of psychological evaluation to get into the LAPD? Because I can't see how that kid would have passed. The genuine glee in his eyes when talking about how afraid his father was of the cops and how that was real power was not at all subtle.

Wonder how long Brad's going to be around? His man-crush on Bobby continues to be hilarious.

I'm with Buck's friends that he shouldn't reach out to Tommy. It's up to Tommy to do some grovelling if they ever want this viewer to be on board with any kind of reunion. 

And can I just say again, thank goodness the moustache is gone!

The Brad Torrance story has gone on past its shelf life. I can tell because Captain Bobby’s eye roll was so over the top, as if he was going for something big when the story is becoming so small.

The cop shooting was a real ripped from the headlines story. Better luck with the next car mate, Athena.

I miss not seeing Athena and Bobby together.

SovCits make me want to shoot them, too, but damn, boy.

Yeah, the actor was pretty good at giving me the willies.

Brad's "redemption" will last all of an episode, I'm sure, before he reverts to an a-hole and returns to getting fawned on by Captain A-hole.

I can't help thinking Athena was doing a bit too much pontificating in this episode. I started to think the jewelry store heist was part of the Hot Shots tv show she went on so long. And if she hadn't preached at "Flash Rob" so long she might have been able to slap cuffs on him before he ran.
