I don't know whether Primetimer has character threads. I recall them from the TWoP days. If we did have them here, I'd suggest:

Will Trent: Pathologically Scrupulous (from the last ep)

Michael Ormewood: Goblin Energy.

Dan Gill as John
Antwayn Hopper as Rafael Wexford 
Matthew Sean Blumm as Captain Norton Cromwell

Kyrie McAlpin as Sunny

That was one huge phone at the safe house.

Sunny made a big mistake not holding on to the phone when she jumped out of the trunk. It would have saved a lot of time when the police was running around the mall trying to find her.

I am surprised that the corrupt cop didn't feel the giant phone when he picked up Sunny and put her in the truck. I am surprised that the corrupt cop didn't hear Rafael Wexford screaming on the phone as he was fighting with Sunny.

Ormwood palmed the corrupt cop's face and slam dunked him.

I’m not encouraged about this new season. It is not engaging me.

I like Gina Rodiguez as an actress, but I feel like they are shoehorning her into the season, 

I’m disappointed as I feel like it is already going off the rails.

Well I liked this episode. I liked Faith and Will making up. I laughed at Ormwood and his terrible DMV photo, and cheered when he slammed the corrupt cop into the floor. Amanda with a teenager should be interesting. Loved the consistency of Will warning Rafael at the end that Will won't turn a blind eye to Rafael's criminal activity, and Rafael warning Will that he hasn't and won't change his spots either. I liked the assistant DA and was glad she was so willing to be helpful. I thought the mayor would be around as an adversary for longer than this.

Angie looking the other way fo rher coworker.... isn't that exactly the kind of thing that started her down the wrong path with the kid she covered up for? Her lack of taking seriously her apology was also concerning, but she did seem to make a little progress when the review board didn't cut her any slack. It's troubling, though, that she didn't even manage to fake sincerity until they showed her that her BS wasn't going to work.

Ormewood and his goblin energy! 😂

Will gets his mojo back, slipping into his signature, Betty-approved three-piece suits. Am going to miss the scruffy, relaxed, Tennessee Will. 😩

Will, shhh! 🤫

Ok, I can get down with a goblin energy, face-palming-into-the-floor Ormewood. This version can stay, just yeet the rest of the family, please. 

I really enjoyed this episode.

Agreed about Angie and her lack of remorse. It reminds me of when she was injured and slept with her doctor and then blackmailed him into signing her return to work papers. She has to use an app to write her own statement of remorse? Good grief, gurl. She's still all about Angie and is oblivious to her own patterns of behavior. She looks the other way for a guy she doesn't even know? Another reason for me to only ship Angie and intensive therapy because her judgment is severely compromised. I'm honestly not getting any sense from her that she truly understands she fucked up badly, or that this will change her for the better. She's saying the words but her actions ain't syncing up. 

Amanda and a teenager. That should be fun. I really like Rafael, he knows who he is, but I really hope Wilbur is able to get him out of that life and not have to kill him. If we aren't getting MPG back, it would be nice to have Rafael as a recurring friend who's known Will a really long time. And bonus, more Marla Gibbs as grandma! I'm imagining Rafael making friends with Betty, and for some reason I feel like that would be amazing. I feel like he'd have Bad Bitch Betty custom fitted in all the designer labels and a diamond encrusted collar. Betty deserves some shine in her golden years. 😄

Glad Faith and Will made up. Them trying to decide if they should hug it out was hilarious.
