Put On The Brakes

**SPOILERS** I generally like this show. Good characters, good acting, episodes move well...etc. Just a couple of small things, though. In this series within a series, it gets tedious just waiting for the next idiot to drop out of the rafters. I think they could have picked a guilty party a couple of episodes ago; at least in last week's show instead of making us wait for a boring conclusion like this one. Also, I don't know if anyone else was wondering, but, at the wedding, I almost expected Andy and Sharon to drop dead from heart attacks at the same time.

The "Rusty Soap Opera" keeps rolling, even though I thought they actually got the killer a couple of years ago (maybe I had just hoped so); how long can they drag out the usual mystery bad guy that can't be killed? Kinda like every tiresome monster movie they want to milk revenue out of. It seems obvious that they are setting up some kind of complicated plot with Rusty and his "Need" to carry a firearm. What will it be? The super bad guy somehow steals the gun he's carrying to frame him for a murder he couldn't have committed? The wrong person gets shot with Rusty's gun? He finally gets to kill super dirtbag himself?

Most of these stories move very quickly and effectively through the beginning, middle, end. Some, though, are extended through either laziness or lack of imagination, I believe. I think they could be wrapped up in a way that shows there are NO winners in a murder investigation; only the end of someone's life, and finding out why.
