Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: And a Trauma in a Pear Tree (2022)
She many things wrong!
Rollins being offered a professorship? Really? So very realistic. Not! She's a smart gal maybe professionally (personal choices, not so much). But this just does not happen. Olivia knew something because in a prior episode she calls Amanda professor! Olivia suddenly becoming chummy with Rollins? There was nothing historically to support this. It seemed to be forced.
Noah is 12. His mom is an SVU captain. Why on earth does she not monitor his online activities better? He's being secretive? Bells going off anyone? It's one thing to meet the "brother" but am entirely different thing to meet them for the first time with Noah. Nope. You restrict this kids access while you meet the other family. She did some digging on them. But you meet first. Now she's leaving Noah with these people while she investigates a crime that's not in her jurisdiction. Ugh. The music playing while this family is around us foreboding. They're trying to make us suspect something when all the while Olivia lets her kid take the lead. She loses all credibility.
Noah saying his brother is his only family was so hurtful. Olivia should have talked to him about this. He's 12 for heaven's sake! He's a brat. But feel free to live your truth little person.
The case ending how it did was bogus. He was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Muncy is out of control and should have been schooled by Olivia. But no, Olivia was off meeting Noah's brother/fam. She threw a radio at the perp. I get that she's coming off the gang unit so there's a grit and toughness that comes with that role. But the team has a responsibility to reign that in! She blew the case. I wonder if we will ser it retried?
Station 19: Twist and Shout (2022)
Yet another argument between Maya & Catrina
Sigh. Can we please be spared another spat between these two? Catrina's unintelligible, rapid-fire monologues are tiresome.
I love when the focus of the show is actual emergency situations. This ep had great calls. The tornado scenes were very good. Living in the midwest, I have seen my share of tornadoes and severe storms. They are very intense. I have watched tornadoes move across the countryside. Beautiful and terrifying at the same time.
Beckett needs to be dealt with! What is he popping throughout the episode? It's time he gets Ben Warren back on truck. Beckett tends to be a bit childish when he thinks he's wronged. He knows he was drinking on the job! Such a jerk.
Rizzoli & Isles: ...Goodbye (2014)
Poignant Episode
I can only imagine how hard it was to produce this episode. It was beautifully written because it was real grief. Every time I watch it I cry. Especially at the end. R. I. P.
