Is anyone else getting a little tired of the show? I know it's well made, well acted, and well written, but there's just something about seeing the show every week that wears me down. Next week is the season finale and I'm not hopeful for a renewal, so I should be thankful for what we got.
This episode featured the greatest disparity of screen time. Ty was in about 3 scenes and had about 10 lines, while Jamie had 30 minutes of screen time. I would like to commend the makeup people for a great job; Nicki Aycox looked absolutely amazing yesterday. Carter is trying to bust a smuggling ring this week, and after Dean fails due to bad luck, it's all up to Jaimie to get in touch with an old friend, Billy, who she got sent to prison years earlier without him knowing.
There is a tedious and boring leadup to the bust of Sanchez, the smuggler. The bust is extremely straightforward. Carter has guns to ship to Mexico, they agree, and then they arrest everyone. The bulk of the story was Jaimie lying and discovering about her past. The story with Billy enlightened us about her past, but Billy was one-dimensional and I didn't feel too sorry for him. It seemed like this incident tried to portray Jaimie in a good light, Billy is a general scumbag, but we don't really see her taking responsibility for her misdeeds.
Her DA boyfriend Scott had his longest appearance. She needs him to get a plea deal for Billy's friend in order for him to play ball, and she lies to him. We have no clue what he's like in the courtroom, but I was tickled almost to the point of laughing whenever he said something. It kind of reminded me of the first few seasons of Alias when Sydney's friends would make the most ironic comments. Scott is so genuine and naive that it's silly he's with Jaimie whose whole life is based off deceit. The episode ends with Dean telling Jaimie that if she really cares about him, they should split up.
One more episode left, I've become jaded, but the show must go on.
Score: 8.3/10
