Episode Summary & Review
Summary
In the midst of a heatwave and a citywide blackout, Officer John Nolan and Aaron follow increasingly large leads after they discover criminals hiding at the station. While on duty, Officer Chen makes an alarming discovery after being called to a scene where a pungent smell has wreaked havoc. Meanwhile, Lucy and Harper scheme to get Tim out of his new job and into a more exciting position.
Our Take
A fun, chaotic hour that leans into the blackout premise without getting too silly about it. Nolan and Thorsen make a good pairing, and the smell-of-death call gives Chen a genuinely gross case to work. The subplot about pushing Tim toward a new job feels like setup more than story, but it moves fast enough that it never drags. Worth your time.
