Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Officer John Nolan and Bailey are on the hunt for a mystery gunman after a shooting hits a little too close to home. Meanwhile, Aaron struggles to live within his means and joins Lucy to help Tamara when the mother of a child she babysits goes missing. Elsewhere, Wesley suspects that a judge is taking bribes after he excludes valuable eyewitness testimony from a case.
Our Take
A decent episode that splits its attention three ways, and the Nolan and Bailey gunman storyline lands the hardest because it actually feels urgent. The Tamara subplot is sweet but thin, and Wesley’s judge corruption thread moves slower than it should. Nothing here reinvents the show, but the pacing holds and the ending gives you enough to want the next hour.
