Do they assume Tim and Lucy can survive a long-term undercover task? Read on to seek out out.
Would you prefer to see Lucy doing undercover work extra completely, or would you like her to stay on Patrol?
Jasmine: I really like Lucy undercover. She’s such a pure at it, and Melissa O’Neil is sort of the character actress. I really like watching her rework. Plus, I typically get pleasure from UC work. It’s enjoyable when any of them go undercover, and I would not thoughts seeing that on a extra common foundation.
Denis: I choose her on Patrol. Every time she’s undercover, it looks like she’ll get herself killed. She simply does essentially the most, even when it isn’t required.
Christine: Can we hold it the best way it’s now, the place she does undercover assignments however stays with Patrol? This actually looks like the perfect of each worlds. I concern being undercover full-time would change Lucy, and I really like that she will nonetheless take a look at the world and see the nice in individuals.
Would Lucy working a long-term stint undercover trigger issues along with her and Tim’s relationship?
Jasmine: I believe it could have its challenges, however exploring that may be attention-grabbing, particularly with Tim nonetheless adapting to Metro, which has its personal share of points.
Denis: Most undoubtedly. Based on Tim’s response when the opposite undercover cop was talking, he did not appear thrilled or detached to the issues that come up along with your accomplice going undercover.
Christine: Didn’t Tim’s spouse do undercover work with Narcotics, and that is how her habit began? I’d like to see Tim’s considerations over Lucy working undercover be explored a bit extra.
It would undoubtedly be annoying for each of them, so I’m hoping she does not do any long-term uncover assignments any time quickly, particularly since Lucy and Tim have simply began their romantic relationship.
Should Nolan let Celina see the file on her sister’s homicide, or is he proper to make her wait?
Jasmine: I really feel like Nolan means nicely, however he is overstepping with this. Celina is a grown lady who can determine what she’s prepared for, and there very nicely may very well be one thing that she will provide to the case to assist remedy it if solely she noticed the file.
Denis: He should not until he has ample proof that there was a miscarriage of justice from the preliminary investigation. With how private the case is to Celina, she would possibly find yourself making a mistake and ruining her profession within the course of.
Christine: There’s a cause why rookies aren’t allowed to entry these information. Nolan can be doing Celina a disservice if he simply handed it over to her proper now.
Celina wants to focus on getting via her coaching, then she and Nolan can undergo that file collectively to see if something was missed.
Do you assume Celina’s mom will discover out she’s on Patrol earlier than Celina will get the possibility to organize her for the information? If so, what occurs then?
Jasmine: Definitely. They would not concentrate on this a lot if it wasn’t main someplace. I count on an enormous emotional blowout when she learns the reality.
Denis: Secrets at all times have a approach of popping out, and the perfect you may hope for is that they don’t seem to be damaging. I believe her mom will perceive why she did what wanted to be carried out.
Christine: I used to be ready for her mom to see her on TV throughout this episode! We all know it is coming, and I do not assume her mom will deal with it nicely in any respect.
The trauma of dropping one daughter triggered her agoraphobia. Knowing that her remaining daughter is within the line of fireside day by day will both drive her out of the home or ship her into an entire breakdown.
Which couple had essentially the most severe Valentine’s day struggle?
Jasmine: I’m going to go together with Angela and Wesley. It seems like their fights are past the floor sort of points. They’re underneath a lot stress, and there’s a legitimate cause for being cautious of recent individuals getting into their life presently.
Denis: Tim and Lucy. I knew Tim would not be thrilled to study that Lucy had plotted behind his again.
Christine: Wesley and Angela. I do know Angela informed him he may rent safety if he wished to, however I am unable to consider he selected an precise particular person with out permitting Angela to vet them.
The incontrovertible fact that he did not even know Charlie’s right gender makes me query Wesley’s thoroughness and judgment.
Which couple’s struggle did you see as being the least severe and why?
Jasmine: Nolan and Bailey. It felt like Bailey wished to have their first actual struggle simply to say they did it prefer it was one thing to mark off a listing. It did not even make any sense.
Denis: Nolan and Bailey. I did not get what it was about, and I barely bear in mind it.
Christine: Did Nolan and Bailey even struggle? It appeared like they had been irritated with each other greater than the rest.
Remember when Tim questioned whether or not Lucy and Chris by no means fought as a result of they did not care sufficient? Is that an issue for Nolan and Bailey, or are they simply each so easygoing that they by no means struggle?
What was your favourite quote, scene, or storyline from this episode?
Jasmine: I really like after they do all of the camerawork from their physique cams and so forth.
Oh, however that dialog with everybody gossiping about their private lives off-channel was completely hilarious! I could not cease laughing.
Denis: The scorching nanny/bodyguard. Jealous spouses are at all times humorous after they spiral and there may be nothing happening. I did not peg Lopez because the jealous variety.
Christine: That group radio chat was the perfect! I liked how everybody informed Lopez to get Charlie out of her home. It’s like individuals who rent a scorching, younger nanny. Why take that threat? And Grey chiming in on the very finish was the icing on the cake.
What, if something, upset you throughout this installment?
Jasmine: I used to be fairly content material the entire approach via.
Denis: I do know it is twisted, however I kinda wished to see what would occur if anybody or each of these emergencies weren’t contained.
Christine: Almost nothing. I hoped to see the truck blow out its tires on these spike strips they laid down, however that by no means occurred.
Was there the rest, good or unhealthy, you need to debate from this episode that we have missed?
Jasmine: I liked Noah. I would not be mad if we noticed extra of him.
Denis: I did not understand how a lot I really like Nolan. Like, significantly. Seeing him in motion had me all excited.
Christine: I’m blissful to see we’re getting extra of the again story on Celina, particularly as we’ll doubtless see extra of her mom. I like Marlene Forte, who performs Carla Juarez, so I’m wanting ahead to seeing extra of her on this function.
And I am unable to say sufficient concerning the group dynamic on this present. When all of them get to play off each other, as within the radio chat throughout this episode, the distinctive chemistry of this solid actually shines.
