I have to say that I AM a teenager and I HATE, yes HATE in CAPS LOCK, this season. Especially SMACked wise.
AXELTHESNOWMAN: Meant no harm on the age thing only mentioned age because I read somewhere that writers are going for the teenage, younger crowd.
Now I have re-reviewed the eppie and have come away with a new perspective and for Deb and those who have not gotten to watch it yet I wrote down the more important parts!
Plus I did notice that Mac was still wearing the same pants so no harm done there! This Emma thing is pscho one sided and I am brain picking to come up with a appropriate title for her
First of all this "wig case" makes a fake card and pretends that it was sent to her about someone wanting the vic dead. When she comes to Macs office and hands it to him she holds his hands alittle longer as she puts this "I want her dead"card in his hand. He does not even notice it but being the keen observer that I am I DID! Well Mac thinks he has somthing here and further down the road as he and Lindsey study it they find it as a fake. Mac goes to Ellas apartment and confronts her. I am VERY happy to say (and these are the "New and improved" scenerios from my optimistic side of my brain) he is very PI....SED OFF! (No love there!)
MAC:Why did you make the card? What is this some twisted revenge to embarress me for locking up your mother is that what this is about?
EMMA: What are you talking about?
MAC: Enough of the games Ella.
Ella: No I would never do that!
Mac: A woman is dead and instead of getting closer to her killer I wasted valuable time chasing down a lie What were you thinking?
ELLA:I'm sorry!
Mac: Thats not good enough.
ELLA: I just needed someone to talk to!
MAC: We barely know each other Why me? E
ELLA: I thought you cared about me ( GLEEK, GLEEK, GLEEK, sorry about that I had to throw that in, the knife scene music from psycho!):lol:
The way you treated me when my Father was murdered, that didnt mean anything?
MAC: The other night was not a coinsidence running into you was it?
ELLA: You think I was following you? (YES I BELIEVE SHE WAS!!)
MAC: (PI>>ED OFF) ANSWER THE QUESTION!!!
ELLA: (Sniff) I just wanted to see you again,I didnt think you would take that stupid card so seriously!
MAC: (Getting madder) I take every lead seriously thats my job!!!
ELLA: O.K., I get it what I did was misguided and stupid forgive me.
MAC: Your lucky I dont
arrest you!
End of scene. You know it wasn't as bad as I thought looking back at it again!
Next important scene: (I hope it is alright to do this!)
I think this was before the Ella scene: Mac and Stella and Sid in the lab with the dead vic that was killed by the Greek guy:
Sid tells them as he is handing a vial to Mac: A metallic splinter its all I got
Stella grabs the vial out of Macs HAND!!! and she says "Hopefully its all we'll need. She turns and leaves,Mac looks after her and turns and looks at Sid and then he turns and then follows Stella to the elevator.
He looks at her kind of puzzeling and she says to him Im fine Mac I just want to get this guy!
MAC: We all do (and the elevator door shuts and Stella leaves him standing there as she is gone on the elevator.) Then the scene is Stella going into focus mode and analizing all her evidence. Next scene Stella and Angel go to Stan the ex con who makes fake coins and did prison time for it. Stella makes a deal with him to move his brother in prison upstate down closer to a closer prison if he will make her some fake Greek coins he says "can you do that"? and Stella says"I can move Christmas! Stan turns to Angel and says I like this girl!
Next important scene: Stella is walking by Macs office and he is just getting off the phone he waves his finger in a "Come here" motion:
Stella: Whats up?
Mac walks over and closes the door Stella looks guilty (OH OH)
MAC: Just got off the phone with the cheifs office
Stella: (Affirmative nod)
MAC: There asking why someone in the crime lab is moving a career criminal to down state prison, I didnt have an answer.
(interjects personal thought analisis: He looked at her like she was a naughty little girl and I am starting to think this was a bit of a smacked moment after all!)
STELLA: I wanted to keep you out of this Mac.
MAC: Thats not the answer I was looking for.
STELLA: His brother Stan is helping me
MAC: You mean Stan trovato(OR whatever his name is)convicted felon, paroled, forger of all things currancy? Not exactly the cornerstone of a solid case!
STELLA: Look I was going to tell you all about this I just needed...
MAC:
STOP STOP RIGHT THERE! (Hands up in the air) I dont want to know!! What ever you are doing STOPS TODAY:
RIGHT NOW!!
STELLA: Sabastian DE(Whatever his name is)killed two people and I dont think he is finished!
The guy is taunting me MAC! He sent me a dead rat as a message, put your self in my shoes!!
(He gives her that same mad look he gave her when she scolded him to not let his pride get in the way with REED!)
MAC:Try stepping into mine! I'm in charge of this lab,responsable for everyone and everything that happens here!!
(Calms down) I admire your passion Stella but what you did is reckless and more importantly could comprimise any future criminal prosecution.
STELLA: (FUMING!!)
What I did is perfectly legal!
MAC: And contrary to the policies of this lab and this department. Major Case is working the investigation,if they need us they will call. In the mean time you need to stand down.(He says this pretty calmly by the way)
STELLA: You cant ask me to do that MAC! CMon I can get this guyI just need... gimme a couple of days
MAC: As your friend I would love to but this is me being your boss, Im not asking...its a direct order.
Stella: (Nods her head)
FINE!
She stomps out of the office flinging the door she looks back at Mac through the window as he looks at her...Danny walks in.
Alittle while later we see Angel meeting with the other
Greek guy the councilet? (The cute one anyway!) She tells him she has coins and wants to make a deal and says she will be keeping in touch. She leaves the resturant and gets into the car where Stella is sitting there behind the wheel
Stella: Did he take the bait?
Angel: I think so
Stella: Good!
Now as I look back at this it is more of a Christmas gift than I thought at first. I think I had just set myself up for Smack of a different kind but I think we have some Really GREAT stuff in our future! MERRY CHRITMAS! This will make the wait a lot easier in a better mood!! I think the way they ended the show made for a downer but when Mac find out what PYSCHO babe is up to... Not good for her!
