Take The Money and Run

I enjoyed this one, especially the scene with Greg and Morgan when she's crying and he's holding her, trying to comfort her. I don't care for her but she got to me a bit. Seems like she's about to break (maybe that means she won't be around much longer????). Her screen time does need toned down a bit. Nick needs to shave tho, facial hair doesn't really do him justice. Brass sure seems to be having a hard time dealing with losing Nancy and knowing Ellie is her killer. I expected some anger from him and we got a taste of that. Hopefully things get better for him. And loved the team work featured here.

 

better than the premiere. a good balance and a good (slow) rhythm...but they need to talk; above all, Betty Boop needs to pant and sigh. wish sooner or later the Morgan’s Formative Experiences Novel will come to an end...i don’t like many things; but they have nothing
to do with this episode; it’s a well balanced mix between poor writing and saving money; missing pieces and black holes. Guest Stars and the Moon we are longing for...

 

I thought this was a pretty good episode. Very balanced screen time among all the starring cast ... and I felt that Nick, Greg and Brass were in especially fine form.

I'm a bit annoyed with what they've done with Morgan; they turned a spirited young woman into the "hanky of the week" character. It seems like she's crying, or almost crying, in nearly every episode ... and this was going on before her "CSI in peril" moment. Oh, well.

Other than that, I liked the episode. It was a return to the quirky case that had everyone involved. I suspected the mechanic initially, then didn't suspect him after his baby was kidnapped. But then, when we reached a "and then there were none" point with the suspects, of course he was the only one left. I thought the wife of the security guard was especially riveting in her reaction to his death; she was a step up from the usual way the grieving widow is portrayed.

 

Other than Morgan crying in pretty much every scene she appeared in, this episode gets a thumbs up from me, I really enjoyed it.

Got quite a few vibes of past cases with this one: "And Then There Were None" with the casino robbery and each suspect being killed off one-by-one; "Got Murder" with the snake venom"; "All for Our Country" with the bloated corpse. It looked like at points the case was going to become overly convoluted and derail but I think it was tied up pretty neatly overall. I suspected the maintenance worker was involved somehow as soon as the picture of his baby showed up, but I wasn't expecting the kidnapping angle.

Lots of great character moments throughout, particularly the scenes concerning Brass and Nick. Screentime was really evenly distributed as well, I noticed that Andrew Dettmann wrote this one and I've found his episodes are full of great team/character moments. I'll be keeping an eye out for upcoming stories from him.

Oh yeah, and although we got a bit of personal drama in it (not much though), I thought this was a great example of balance between the that and the case itself.

Massive improvement from last week's gimmicky and underwhelming premiere. B+

 

Wonderful episode, I really, really, REALLY enjoyed it! :thumbsup:

As a big Morganders fan, I loved watching their scenes together and how Greg comforted Morgan. She is definitely trying to get back to normal, but it's obviously still hard for her. Good to see she's trying, though, and that Greg was there for her when she needed someone.

Great scene between Nick and Brass at the end as well, things are obviously tough on him as well. Hope he's going to be fine again too!

 

Aren't they supposed to have some psychological counseling after such incidents? I'm wondering why it's not mentioned that Morgan should have some or is actually having some counseling sessions. She got kidnapped the second time...they could work with that. Otherwise, I liked the episode as well. It was much better than the premiere.

 

I also like Morgan and Greg scenes：大聲笑：
