I watched this episode right after I woke up this morning, so I had a faint idea of what was going on. So I'll have to rewatch as I type this. I am almost positive now that Dark Blue will not be renewed. The ratings have not increased, they've even declined somewhat. I think the problem with the show is that if you start watching right in the middle of the episode, you can't really enjoy anything. The whole point of the show is developing a bust over a 40 minute span and there isn't comedy or excessive action you can enjoy from the middle.
Dean joins the Venice Kings, a white gang trying to take over Venice Beach. Before he and his new buddies can do anything, someone pulls up and shoots them. Luckily (and inexplicably), Dean is unhurt and only one person is actually shot. Carter, Ty, and Jaimie come with sirens, so everyone runs off. Dean starts shooting at them to sell his cover and again he was shooting with one hand. I don't know where he learned to shoot guns, and even when he isn't undercover, he's shooting with one hand. Obviously two hands are better than one, but Dean continues to use one hand, I'm guessing because it looks cool.
Carter wants to target the Kings because they have a chance to become a threat not just in Venice Beach, but to the rest of LA. Dean got in because he turned one of the gang members so that proves to be a huge problem especially when it appears he is very nervous.The key to success is heroin and Dean proposes to steal some because he has a source inside the feds. A drug dealer named Sykes sold them out to the Crips, and the head of the Kings wants Dean to kill him. Carter and the rest of the team arrest Sykes and get a picture for Dean.
Ty poses as a drug dealer, but before Carter moves in, the guy in charge of the Kings says that there is a bomb in the city. Carter kidnaps his girlfriend and tries to get him to give up the location of the bomb. After enough convincing, he tells the location of the bomb and they manage to save everyone. The boss is suspicious and thinks Dean is a cop, and beats the informant. Carter moves in before anything can happen and O'neil (the leader) is killed.
There is a side story involving Ty and his sister who needs $7k. Ty could easily have taken the money from Sykes, and Carter would have let him, but opted to sell his motorcycle instead. I'm still tired right now, but I rewatched a large portion of the episode, and a lot of parts still didn't make sense. I got the gisp of what happened which is in the recap. Overall it was a bland episode and seemed very disjointed from the start.
Score: 8.0/10
