This was an excellent episode. The recent ones have been okay, so it was nice to see that we weren't completely going downhill. This was a really nice balance where each character had interesting cases and there was also some personal development we'll see grow as the episodes keep on coming.
Best parts of the episode?
- We got some really interesting side characters this week. I loved Hector, Elvis, Thomas and of course, Oscar (I hope we continue seeing him because he's great).
- The reference to when Nolan used to crash the cars in season one was excellent. I loved that part.
- I really liked the whole Scared Straight plot. Everything from meeting the boys, to Hector stopping the flirty (actually, creepy) one from stealing the van, to them escaping the prison? It was all great.
- It seems like Bradford and Rachel are going to break up amicably. I was nervous that something would happen between Bradford and Chen while he was still with Rachel, so I like that it *seems* not to be the case. I really like Rachel's character though, so it'll be sad to see her go.
Worst part of the episode?
- I don't like how they explained that Lopez was mixed up with another Angela Lopez. I feel like that was a lazy wrap-up on the part of the writers.
