A Séance Gets the Truth Out
biorngm26 November 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Consider watching this episode because of the dialogue in the courtroom that creates a Brenda- move through the second interview of the suspect. Although an additional suspect is murdered, the primary suspect does not know of the killing, so why not play it like the dead is alive. Exactly the method Captain Raydor uses when she again discusses the crime with the primary, where he succumbs to her method of extracting information, i.e. conduct a séance with the dead man's phone.

Judge Grove is a favorite character of mine conducting proper order in his courtroom by not allowing attorneys any leeway where they take matters out of his control. A textbook murder-for-hire, an unremorseful defendant and a manslaughter plea for shortened terms trigger the judge's rath, arguing the state has not done its job securing sufficient material evidence to secure a death penalty conviction.

The reluctance to cooperate with an FBI agent is played superbly among the officers, namely Flynn and Sanchez. Sharon knows there is something missing in the case where no hard evidence will ever be found since it will have to come from the mouths of the suspects.

The FBI agent forgets the victim with the injected microchip had her own agenda fighting for what she wanted; she needed protection from herself, furthermore, she did not become an informant by hanging out with all the right people. The victim used her own misguided judgement from the beginning and unfortunately paid with her life.

The aside episode-portion is the heartfelt confession of the schoolmate informing the D.D.A. of the multiple written threats to Rusty which he had tucked away in a cubicle cabinet. The girl feared for Rusty's well-being more than betraying his trust not to divulge the threats. The closing scene is as poignant with Raydor as the conversation the classmate had with Rios.
