Rookie Blue - Going Under - Review

Share on Reddit



This week we finally get to see Chris for more than 10 seconds. Andy and Sam worked on a case together again and retirement plans might have been brought up.

Yes Chris, you should take the night off.

Chris is heading down a really dark path and it looks like he isn’t going to stop anytime soon. It’s going to be a train wreck if he doesn’t get his shit together. He’s hooked on drugs and unaware that his irrational behaviour and actions are jeopardizing his career. Sometimes cops make the worst decisions. I hope Dov or the other rookies find out about Chris’s after hours activities before he hurt others or himself. I’m intrigued to see bad boy Chris making bad decisions but I would also like to have kind hearted and puppy loving Chris back. I’m torn.

Case of the week – The crew goes undercover to bust an illegal weapons dealer. I like undercover cases, they always keep on the edge of my seat. Chris’s drug dealer happened to be there and it put the whole operation at risk. I forgot how much I like Nick when he’s not caught up in love triangle dramas and catching bad guys. Luckily, they got to close the case even with Chris’s mishaps.

A foot rub during work sounds nice.

Traci and Steve was in charge of case of the week, observing the operation from 15th and the scenes where they were providing commentary when Nick was flirting with the bartender was entertaining. I like how laid back and comfortable they are around each other. I really like their dynamic and I want to see them together outside of work too.

Gail’s currently on an online shopping spree, maybe she thought retail therapy can help her get over what happened last episode. It doesn’t happen very often for Gail and Oliver to share a scene together. But when they do, it’s always great. Oliver sought Gail out to ask what was going on with her and they had a heart to heart at the precinct. It was lovely to see Gail open up to Oliver, because she doesn’t always do it but when she does it’s heart-warming. Oliver is someone Gail looks up to and Gail is like Oliver’s favourite child. It clearly shows when they’re around each other. And I need Holly to come back and make everything better.

Weapons and shoes, kiddo.

I would also like to mention how Chloe is the only that noticed the changes of their fellow officers. She told Dov about Chris’s outburst during fight night and that made Dov increase his awareness around Chris. Chloe also voiced her concerns for Gail to Oliver, which is nice since they never got along.

We only got a glimpse of Duncan this week, which I’m glad. He’s suing Andy and the division for he’s inability to do his job as a cop, so we’ll see how this plays out in the upcoming episodes. Right now he’s got nothing on Andy, but let’s not forget how she left some things out of her reports and that might hinder the investigation. Oliver reassured and told Andy to sit tight and all will blow over but Andy being Andy I have a feeling she’s going to try talking to Duncan, to resolve this face to face.

We're never going to agree on a place to retire.

Because of Duncan’s complaints, Andy couldn’t work on case of the week so Sam let her in on a missing person case he was working on. Unfortunately, missing person turned into dead person. Retirement plans together and buying of condos in Costa Rica was mentioned, McSwarek fans can all agree it was a delight to see the pair happy and making jokes (for now). However, I didn't like how Sam brushed it off with a joke when Andy told him she lied and left things out of the reports. He seemed ok with it and I realized that's just how he is. Sam bend and break rules, whether or not it is for a good cause.

Also, we’re already five episodes into the season, but every week I can’t help but wonder if Frank and Noelle are ever coming back? Is Noelle on a permanent maternity leave or what? I need answers, writers!

Overall I really enjoyed the episode and I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen to Chris next. I just want Gail to be happy. Is that too much to ask? Let me know how you guys feel under the comments section!
