Rizzoli & Isles - 6.13 - Hide and Seek - Advanced Preview

Rizzoli & Isles returns this Tuesday, Feb. 16 
at 9/8 C on TNT.



Previously on Rizzoli & Isles, Jane's apartment was burned down due to what they thought was faulty wiring. However when a case takes Jane and Maura to Los Angeles and back, they realize that instead her apartment was deliberately targeted by a stalker with Jane in his or her sights. When another clue makes them think Jane is in imminent danger, she is given a bodyguard against her protests and benched to desk duty, which she hates even more. When the countdown ends with nothing happening, Jane realizes they misinterpreted the clues. Instead of sending a time, the stalker actually sent a verse and the penal code for kidnapping. Frantic that her mother might be in danger, they all converge on a baffled Angela who was about to take a bath. Little do they know that the target is not Angela but Maura. Receiving a bogus homicide call, Maura goes out to do her job but instead gets kidnapped.


Picking up right where the last episode left off, Maura is no damsel in distress. She puts up one heck of a fight, but in the end the kidnapper is successful. She wakes handcuffed to a pipe in an abandoned building just outside of Boston proper. From this point on it's up to her to use her smarts to give herself a fighting shot at survival, leading to some of the best scenes of the episode. Things are a bit slower pacing-wise on the police station front. Even with everyone working together, they still must slog through lots of paperwork and examine all the evidence. With her best friend's life on the line, Jane's frustration is palpable but it leads to some of the more poignant moments, including a Jane monologue to someone unexpected and the return of someone that surprised me. While I wish they had spent a little more time on Maura and less on the procedural elements, this is a great return for Rizzoli & Isles and I'm confident fans will be pleased.

"How about we work more, randomly theorize less?" "Fair enough."
"I really don't want to hit you again. It seems unsporting, you being tied up and all."
"Is that a fact?" "Yeah." "Well you can take your fact and shove it up your…"
"It's not a witch. It's not a Big Bad Wolf. It's just some jacka** that we've got to get to before he hurts Maura."
"Thank you." "For what? Doing my job?"
"This is not your fault. How could you possibly anticipate that someone would lure Maura into a trap? You were just protecting the most vulnerable person in your circle." "And Maura…" "Is strong, she's smart, she is capable. She will do her part. Now we have to do our part, alright?"
"This isn't over." "It's over for now."
