Another good episode and yet from the numbers, no one watched. This is turning out to be standard Jerry Bruckheimer, mostly high quality episodes, never anything too great, overly dramatic at times. The only difference is that it isn't brining the in viewers TNT is looking for and the retention from Leverage is pretty bad. I'm hoping this won't turn into another Eleventh Hour and Close to Home, 2 Bruckheimer shows I genuinely liked that were canceled much before their time.
This week's episode delved into crooked cops. After a shootout with Carter and Dean against Ty and another cop, Chavez, it is revealed that Carter is going after Frye, a guy in charge of a squad, who supposedly is in the back pocket of Terry, a drug supplier. Ty is posing as a uniformed cop in order to join Frye's squad which he is invited to join the next day. Carter's plan is to catch Frye in the act, so he gets some questionable characters to hit Terry's lab and then goes to a dealer that Terry supplies.
Frye takes the bait. When they go to question the dealer, Ty accidentally shoots the dealer dead, but Frye covers it up. Later, Chavez tells him that Terry might have something on Frye and that he is considering turning him in. Somehow, Frye manages to make a link to Dean and they go to his place. Dean escapes, but in the process Chavez is shot, most likely by Frye. Carter makes his move and forces Frye's squad to put down their weapons.
Throughout the episode, Jaimie is having second thoughts about Carter and his methods. She disproves of the criminals that Carter is friends with, likening it to Frye. She does some further investigation, revealing that Frye and Carter used to work together. They have been part of a department that worked outside the rules, and when justice was served to them, Frye had cut a deal.
Ty has a little pregnancy scare when Melissa had one positive and one negative test. In the end, she isn't pregnant, but it is revealed that he would leave the team if she did become pregnant. Frye also meets Melissa and invites them to a barbecue, drawing her into Ty's world, potentially creating a dangerous situation.
I thought the direction of the episode would have been better if they made it so that Frye wasn't so much of a scumbag. In the beginning, it seemed like he and his crew were okay, but then they got progressively worse. In would have liked to see a blurring of the line, sort of like Carter and his team, but there has to be a point where enough is enough.
Score: 8.7/10
