Life: "Black Friday" 11/12 - Grading & Discussion

[Aragorn]

Spoiler: Black Friday

The team investigates a murder in a mall on the biggest shopping day of the year, black friday. In a moment of confusion the body disappears, Crews and Reese are then faced with the task of tracking down both the body and the killer. Meanwhile, Crews gets an unexpected visit from an F.B.I. agent.

Not sure how I want to rate this one.

I am so happy they've returned to the mystery. What is up with the FBI guy? What was with that final scene? Was there a hidden clue with the tropical fruit gum? What does the ex-wife's new hubby have to do with all of this?

I thought Dani was going to take the kids. It would have been an interesting twist. I hope she is done with this flirtation with the Lieutenant. It doesn't make sense. She seemed more like the old Dani. Hell, the show seemed like the S1 show. That's a good thing.

Charlie should have bought Dani the fish.
They're working so hard to make us like Tidwell. I'm glad Dani blew him off, but they made her look nasty while doing it.
I HATE Charlie sleeping with his ex wife. That story line makes me almost want to give up on the show. We could never see Jennifer again and I would be completely happy.
Missed Ted, Olivia, and Rachel.
I'm still trying to decide how I feel about this week's case. Mostly good.
Oh, and it seems clear that Dani's dad didn't just leave his wife. He's on the run.

I just watched this on NBC.com. Did they post it out of sequence? Because it's kinda jarring to go from them finding the brother/sister to Crews and Ted doing some conspiracy watching back to interrogating the brother/sister. And also doing more Crews stuff in between arresting the present swappers.

I was expecting FBI guy to slip Crews a message in the wrapper or something. As it stands, I have no idea what they were alluding to, if anything at all.

It was a little bizarre in the sequencing to eb sure. Overall a decent episode though.

Hey I'm no expert but I think the fruit gum implication is that the supposed federal agent did time in prison...Charlie likes fruit and everything fruit flavored b/c you don't get fresh fruit in prison...the guy said something like 'why chew anything other than fruit gum'...also, charlie is always eating fruit and offering it to other people (when he;s not throwing it at a suspect) just like the agent interjected an offer of fruit gum in an otherwise serious conversation. Or maybe I'm reading into things
