Out of the plotlines we’ve been given thus far on this show, I think I like this one best.

A teenager has raised money to hire Colter to clear her father’s name by finding a witness who can prove he’s not the one who killed his business partner.

Overall, this plot is excellent. And well done.

I have some points of contention in the episode. Like I think the witness trusted Colter way too easily. They should have taken the uncle. Colter was hiding too far from the action when the witness was attacked. I wouldn’t have brought her inside either.

Watch Burn Notice, Colter. Michael is pretty insistent that you never bring the person you’re protecting to the fight. They catch a stray bullet and you’re out of job.

So yes, I have issues with how this played out.

But I also don’t care.

The plot holes are something I can over look if the characters are compelling.

I love Colter and Reenie.

Who get the most screentime. I love the couple Velma and Teddi. Then there’s Bobby who is helping his mom this episode and not to be bothered. A lovely little tidbit, I might add.

Because that little moment tells us everything about Colter. Bobby wanted time off and he set out to ensure that he got some peace and quiet.

Nothing I dislike more than being bothered by work, when I’m not working.

Yeesh.

Colter is a good man.

I love that he grilled the man in prison. Clearly, he didn’t think the guy was guilty, but he still pushed. He said the hard truth about breaking his daughter’s heart. He saw the truth in the father’s eyes.

Also, hello Picard from Reacher. If you haven’t watched Reacher, but you’re watching this, check it out!

I love that it was personal for Colter, but that he understood he might not find what they wanted to find.

I love that he’s realistic. He honestly answered Reenie’s question about the odds because Colter loves his odds. But I also love that just because they were small, doesn’t mean that this guy doesn’t fall into that statistic.

Reenie shines in this episode as she quickly deduces the other lawyer is not on the up and up. Unfortunately, she comes to this conclusion in the middle of a dark parking lot on the phone.

Was this episode written by a guy? Or directed by one?

As a woman, we never distract ourselves while headed to our car in the middle of the dark night with no one else around. You’re asking for trouble. But a man who has never had to be afraid of the dark wouldn’t know this. I hate those little details.

Also, I was surprised Reenie didn’t kick him in the groin right then and there. Though I was excited to see her do it later and then tell Colter to rush off to save the witness. Then for her to come running to the witness shouting that she was with Colter to calm her down.

I did enjoy that scene.

I also enjoyed Reenie clearly not giving a shit that she was kidnapped. She was more interested in justice.

She is quickly becoming my favorite.

And on a side note of the possible endgame they’re setting up here – Colter, I don’t think you can handle this woman full time. She’ll kick your ass.

Though I will watch it. No doubt.

A top-notch episode.

Driven by Colter and Reenie helping a family reunite.

That’s some good shit right there, I’m telling you. I’m a sucker every time for character driven plots that work on multiple levels despite the at times terrible set-ups.

This show is going places if they keep putting Colter and Reenie front and center.

Welp, onto the next!
