Oh Jeremy. You really should know by now: Will Trent is pathologically scrupulous.

[AimingforYoko]

It's nice to be reminded that just because Rafael was framed by some crooked cops and he loves his daughter, it doesn't mean he's a good guy.

[possibilities]

I really don't understand how Faith's kid came out so stupid and naive and entitled. I get that a lot of kids are like that, but I don't really underestand how it happens in a situation where the kids are not sheltered, spoiled, and overly indulged.

That said, I think Will keeping the situation secret from Faith is a big mistake and also out of character.

I miss Betty. This season is quite a bit less funny than the previous. All this organized crime stuff is somehow even worse than the police corruption and abusive foster care stories-- maybe not morally, but literally it's harder for me to watch, maybe because they keep shooting at night, and also because I've seen it all before. What is the fascination with dark screens and drug crimes? I actually preferred Angie's case and her personal story this episode.

Finding out Will can box was nice. I didn't really buy that he'd be more proficient than Raphael, but it was still one of the better scenes this week, I thought. Maybe because I could actually see what was happening.

Seriously, what is the fad for filming in the dark? 

[Atlanta]

Oh, Jeremy. You should have stayed in school. If you have musical aspirations, there's no reason you can't pursue them on the side while finishing your degree. 

Spoiler

Book Faith would never ever let him drop out of Ga Tech. It's insanely hard to get into that school. Seriously. Even though it's a public university, it's up there with MIT. Jeremy is a fool. I say this a mom who has gone through the college admissions process and mom friends went through the same thing. Because of the HOPE grant, UGA and Tech are notoriously hard to get in. 

I've had friends' kids go to Tech. They come out of magnet schools with insane GPAs and SATs.

 

[Quickbeam]

I really do not love the Jeremy story line. At all. However, Angie and the doctor have a really nice chemistry. More Betty please.

I did find it interesting that Will "found" a way to keep him out of jail.  It still sucks for Jeremy but it's much better than what he was facing.

I wonder if Jeremy gets hurt and Faith finds out that Will recruited him as a CI but won't know why that was the best option.

I think sometimes kids just aren't that smart at that age and don't think through the consequences.  He wanted to be in music.  It sounds like he thinks a lot of music producers have their illegal business and their legal business.  Jeremy, naively, thought he could navigate the difference between the two worlds. 

He was wrong.

However it comes out, Faith is going to lose her mind. I think keeping it from her is a terrible idea. Even though I do get why, since I think chances would be high she'd blow the whole thing out of sheer worry for Jeremy.

Jeremy is a complete moron. I wanted to hit him with a two-by-four for being so stupid. And it seemed to me that he still, even at the end after Will explained how things were going to go, didn't understand the level of trouble he's in.

However things end up with Will and Rafael, I think I'm going to be sad. No, Rafael is not a good guy, at all, but it seems like he could have been, but life got in the way and he made bad choices.

I have to say, I'm not enjoying this plot much.

I did enjoy Angie and Ormewood's case, and I'm indifferent to her love life at this juncture, though it was kind of funny to have the Greek chorus of Ormewood and her sponsor making commentary on her confrontation with the doctor in the squad room.

[Snazzy Daisy]

They give Rafael Wexford too much screen time. We barely see Amanda in this episode. And I miss Betty! 😩

Jeremy Mitchell is an idiot.

Faith is going to kill both Will and Jeremy when she finds out. Nothing stands between mama bear and her child.

[Dowel Jones]

"Deep down he's an asshole just like you."  Heh.  You wanna pick that mic up off the floor, Angie?

Maybe Jeremy is so stupid because he's seen so many TV cop shows where the young kid gets pulled into crime but gets bailed out by cop friends, and he thinks that's how it happens.  I don't know. Just an insanely bad move on his part.

Don't worry, Marty (club security guy).  The fast food industry is hiring.

[marceline]

Angie is so toxic. The way she treated Seth was ridiculous. “You should’ve told me.” Are you serious Angie? Dr. Seth should run in the opposite direction and now I want nothing to do with this couple.

Will’s doing for Jeremy the same thing Angie did for Crystal. I hope it turns out better.

[Chaos Theory]

I know Angie is a controversial character especially on this board but I am glad she is dating someone e fairly normal.  Both Will and Angie need to be in normal relationships.  Plus I like the doctor guy.    I am actually wondering more then ever if Angie’s mother is still alive and will show up eventually.

It’s the exact opposite.  He isn’t letting Jeremy off Scott-free.   He is making him is CI to get at the guy he works for.  He can’t tell Faith because Faith would do what Angie did and ruin her career for him.    It’s gonna end badly between Will and Faith when she finds out but Jeremy got himself into this situation and Will is doing the only thing he can do without breaking the jaw

I realize I'm about to be super dramatic but, this whole season has been off for me. And now between Angie's toxic ass tryna date somebody without coming to terms AT ALL with the Crystal situation and what happened with Will, and now the writers dragging Jeremy into this Raphael gang mess, it feels like they're just either throwing stuff at the wall or tryna be shocking just for shock sake. And I don't like any of it. 

I don't think I'm gonna watch the show in real time anymore. There's too much happening that I don't like storywise, and not enough of what I loved about this show. Maybe I'm extra cranky because I hate Daylight savings and I've been 'off' since Sunday. But I'm not enjoying these recurring storylines this season. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[fastiller]

Anyone think Will will tell Faith sooner rather than later that Jeremy is his new CI?  (Will Will officially register Jeremy as a CI?)  I do think there's a world in which he could tell her and not have her go absolutely ballistic.  He might need Amanda's assistance on it.

 

(How many times can a person use the word "will" as a proper noun & a verb in the same post?)

[Chaos Theory]

What Jeremy did was stupid but also understandable stupid.   When you are an honest person it really is hard to see dishonesty in the world.   Jeremy has been relatively sheltered by Faith so when he decides not to go to school but instead to do the music thing he doesn’t see the criminal element or at least doesn’t think it will affect him…..until the murder.    What happens to his point of view is his mother getting involved coat him his job and his song.   So he doesn’t what a honest person would do.   He talks man to man with his boss.    
 

This is where the understandably stupid comes in.  He was likely set up on two fronts.  Being blackmailed by his boss and by the cops who were looking for an excuse.  Driving too slow is an excuse used by cops to pull over a car you think is dirty but need a justification.      It was stupid of Jeremy ti take the package but if he didn’t he would have to start from zero without the song he wrote. 
 

plus and more importantly there would be no story

[milkyaqua]

This is going to end badly.  There's no way Faith doesn't blow up at Jeremy and Will.  There's no way Will doesn't take Rafael down.  There's no way that any of them come out unscathed.  I'm most worried about stupid Jeremy because I can't see him keeping his cool for long.  I get he wants to do music and may have been sheltered but his choice to go crawling back to Rafael was dumb, dumb and more dumb and agree you can go to school and still do music instead of hanging your hat on a maybe and a dream.

I also liked the Greek chorus behind Angie and Seth.  Agree with most others that Angie still hasn't gotten her act together or admitted and resolved what she did.  Seth should have run when he found out she went through his wallet and bolted but of course we couldn't have that because why would they have cast Scott Foley instead of someone less notable?  There will be plenty of time for this relationship to go south.

And yes, where was Betty and why so little Amanda?

I don't think it's that he's more proficient; it's that Will knows Raphael's style and movws. Will can predict what Raphael will do, but if you put Will in the ring with someone he's never fought before it would be a totally different scenario. The point of the scene wasn't that Will is this amazing boxer, it's that Will knows and can predict Raphael's moves.

To complicate things, one of those choices was taking the fall for Will. 

6 hours ago, marceline said:

Not really. Will can legitimately justify to anyone who asks that Jeremy can be useful in leading to multiple arrests. Jeremy's involvement can possibly lead them to multiple people involved in drugs. There is real law enforcement value to what Will did. Angie cannot make a similar claim or justification.

[Dowel Jones]

I did notice that Rafael landed some good punches too.  Will is not invulnerable.

[tennisgurl]

Oh Jeremy, you dummy. When someone, especially someone you know is sketchy, asks you to drop a black bag off, do not take the bag! Dropping out of college was a bad call, especially when his knowledge of navigating the music industry seems to be on par with watching Straight Outta Compton. Will found the best option out of the many terrible ones, but this is absolutely going to be a clusterfuck when Faith finds out. I am so not looking forward to Faith and Will fighting, poor guy needs all of the friends he can get and its going to hurt Faith so much to know that her son and partner were keeping things from her, even with understandable reasons. 

Who knew Ormewood was such a hip hop fan? The case of the week was pretty good, I guessed the killer quickly but I still liked the case and exploring some of the Atlanta music scene. I also liked the secondary crime, I like that they mixed it up and had it be an accident.

I know that Raphael is a bad guy, but I am still going to be sad when Will has to take him down, you can still see that part of him that could have been a good guy in different circumstances and that past he shares with Will. 

I really like Scott Foley and its nice to see Angie dating someone who seems normal, although if I was a friend of the doctors I would point out the many red flags flying around Angie and tell him to lose her number. Angie, your a detective, how did you not guess that he was a widower, what kind of cheater takes off his ring but then leaves it where everyone can see it? 

I loved the Greek chorus watching Angie seemingly tank her relationship, soaking up the drama. 

I missed Betty. I am going to need extra Betty in the next episode, preferably in various sweaters.

I'm not thrilled this is the writer's idea of a way to get more Jeremy in the story. I agree it was dumb of him (never say I'll do whatever you want) but in this episode Rafael seemed to go out of his way to get back at Will through other people.  I had hoped Will would have a friend from his past but they are making him shadier each episode.  

No to Angie and a new boyfriend.  I love Scott Foley but she's going to have him back drinking again.  Loved Ormewood and Franklin.

That was Jeremy's first mistake.  His second was not backing out of the offer when Rafael told him to deliver the bag.  Backing out would have put Jeremy in danger (from Rafael and his people) but likely less danger than delivering the bag.

[peeayebee]

I so wanted Raphael to be a basically good guy. That's over. I was so pissed at him for basically stealing Jeremy's song (or whatever it's called) and then using him to deliver the drugs. Raphael is going down.

And yes to how stupid Jeremy was. I understand that young people don't think clearly. Their brains are still developing. But really, he could write another tune and go to a different record producer, or just put it on TikTok and get famous that way. And did he really not know what was in the bag? Gimme a break.

It's going to be a big blowup when Faith learns about what Jeremy did and what Will hid from her.

I didn't care about Angie and Ormewood's case. Yawn. 

Scott Foley's character is great. I love his dialog. So funny and charming. But what an idiot Angie was for immediately assuming he was married. My first thought was that his wife was dead. I also enjoyed his interns answering questions and giving their input.

Franklin and Ormewood watching and listening to Angie and Foley was funny. I liked that. I liked when Franklin called her dum dum and said Foley was cute cute.

What else...

NO BETTY!!! That is unacceptable.

Edited March 12 by peeayebee

[cardigirl]

In Angie's defense, when Seth (Scott Foley's character) was talking about his parents' anniversary party on Nantucket and his mom's apple pie and then asking her about her family and siblings, you could see her realizing just what a different world from hers he is from. (I'd be hard-pressed to feel comfortable with all that wholesomeness. Nantucket takes serious generational wealth.) There's some shame there about her being in foster care and having a mother who would sell her for a pack of cigarettes. At least Will already knows that background and is from it.

Being suspicious is how she has survived, so when she saw the ring, her mind went to him being married. He was too good to be true, and so she blew the whole thing up. I got it. I didn't want her to do it, and I was glad that Ormewood and Franklin were there because she trusts them and realized she'd made a big mistake.

Angie: His parents have been married for 50 years and vacation in Nantucket. What would he do if he found out my mom sold me for a pack of Newports?

Franklin: So, you’re afraid he’s going to reduce your life to its worst moments, so you’ve reduced his to its best moments? That’s a neat trick.

Oh, Jeremy. So disappointing. You want to be artist? Write some new material and find a new label.

For a brief moment, I thought he'd reconsider and give the bag back to Rafael. He's not safe as a CI. His mom is a GBI agent. Rafael is not stupid. Even if Rafael gets arrested and prosecuted, he and his gang will probably know Jeremy was involved.

Detective Angie never thought for a second the doc might be a widower?

Franklin and Pete are my favorites.

Right? That was my first thought. An engraved ring on his keychain but not his finger?

[fishcakes]

I'm already tired just thinking about the way the Jeremy situation is likely going to play out. Maybe they'll do something interesting with it, but I'm not counting on it.

Just started watching the Frasier reboot and Kevin Daniels is a semi-regular as a firefighter. I've only seen him in a few things, but he is never not delightful.

I was wondering whether it was racism on the part of the White patrol cop, using some bogus reason to pull over a young Black man, or if Rafael called in a favor from some dirty cop to pull Jeremy over and find the drugs.  And on what pretext did they search Jeremy's car?  A cop pulling you over for a traffic violation can ask to search your car but you don't have to say yes.  They can try for a search warrant but would any respectable judge take "he was driving too slow" as probable cause?  

I hope Will's first  move is to clue in Amanda to his new CI and the circumstances surrounding how that happened, something she would want to know as his boss, as the boss (and family friend) of Faith, and as the person who has Rafael's daughter living in her home.  Then they must tell Faith.  The longer she doesn't know what is going on with her son, the greater potential for the total implosion of any friendship and work relationship between Faith and Will, and I don't want to see that.  The Faith/Will dynamic is one of the best things about the show.

Not only that, but she left his wallet and keys on the table.  And he still tracked her down with the excuse that she'd forgotten her pie.  They're going out of their way to show what a great, forgiving, understanding guy he is.  I guess I'm happy for her, but she doesn't deserve him, and him keeping after her doesn't make a lot of sense.

I'd love to see Paul Campano again, especially now that we have Raphael as another part of Will's past. I think Raphael and Paul could be wild fun in scenes together.

Unfortunately Mark Paul Gosselar is starring in Found on NBC so I'm guessing he's not contractually available which is a shame since both shows tape in Atlanta.

People sometimes get pulled over for driving too slow because they are DUI and are being too careful. Driving too slow can be hazardous to other drivers.

Could Raphael be deep undercover? Perhaps for the FBI?

I get sick and tired of Found. I would love for MPG to return to Will Trent, but his role is major in that other show so I doubt he would ever appear even though they both tape in Atlanta.

I wondered what the real reason was for pulling him over, but I can see that if he was driving really slow a cop would be suspicious. And, yeah, he's black. However, I didn't even think about the probable cause for searching his bag. I'm surprised the show didn't address that at all.

[Court]

I think I'm officially on the I hate Angie train.

Jeremy is an idiot. 

The scene with Franklin and Ormewood was perfection.  I watched that part multiple times.

[roughing it]

So where has Jeremy been all this time?  If Faith is so "mama bear" we rarely see her talk about him or call him.  It's like the writers finally remembered she had a son and wrote him in.

If he dropped out of college, he's no longer living in a dorm.  So where is he living?  It didn't sound like he had any type of job at all.  Making music doesn't pay the rent.  Does Ormewood have enough bedrooms for both Faith and Jeremy? in addition to his 2 or 3 kids?

Yes to both. I could be imagining things, but it seems like we had more scenes of Will at home in earlier seasons, which meant more time with Betty. I want Paul Campano back because it's someone from Will's past who understands what he went through. I'd love to see them fully reconnect on better terms as adults.

This is what I was wondering, too.  Jeremy was driving too slow?  I know you can get a ticket for that, but, he wasn't driving erratically or appeared to be under the influence of drugs/alcohol, or giving the cop any other viable reason for requesting a search of his car.  If he had gotten arrested, even a halfway-decent criminal defense lawyer would have had the charges dropped in about five seconds, due to an unlawful search of the vehicle.  

I don't know where this is going, but I think that Will is going to pay the consequences with Faith.  Jeremy's life is basically in danger, either way this may play out, so, I guess it's better that he has Will to look out for him.

I just hope they wrap this storyline up by the end of the season because I don't want a cliffhanger with Jeremy's life hanging in the balance.  

I was really hoping that Rafael would be the bad guy with a good guy's heart, but I don't know if I think that anymore.  If he were that character, he would never have sent Jeremy to do that drop.

I think it was meant to be racism. When Will commented on the reason for the stop being that he was driving too slow, it was clear from the look on his face that he thought it was a bogus reason.

[cardigirl]

My thoughts about Jeremy being arrested were that Rafael set this up so that he'd be able to trip up Will. Rafael may have intended for Jeremy to be arrested, and if he managed to complete the drop-off, he would know that Will is using Jeremy as an informant.

It might not be that, but Will told Rafael that he always knows what Rafael is up to, so Rafael might have decided to trip Will up.

Long-shot idea, I know. Will is certain that he's pulled one over on Rafael by placing a CI in his organization, but I wonder ...

[Chaser]

How did they even find the drugs? Unless the bag was open in the front seat, you can’t search a car because it’s going too slow. 

I’m annoyed at the whole storyline. The kid was just frustrating. I hope Will fesses up before Faith finds out and shots him. 

I like Angie and the Doctor. And I liked the case. And I liked Franklin and Ormewood.

"How did they even find the drugs? Unless the bag was open in the front seat, you can’t search a car because it’s going too slow. "

Because illegal search and seizure on a scared kid never happens.😒
