‘Rizzoli & Isles’ season 5, episode 11 preview: All about a heat wave

Are you ready for things to heat up a little bit on “Rizzoli & Isles“? Well, it looks like this is going to be one of the things that you can expect on the upcoming episode Sunday night: Literally.

Weeks after we had some pretty sad stories, the show is doing almost a 180 on the surface going into this next episode. After all, how else do you describe a story that really puts a heat wave from and center while Jane and Maura try to solve a case? The promo below emphasizes this, but in addition to that, you can also see some other details in the official synopsis below:

“In the middle of a heat wave, Jane and Maura find a man who died suspiciously in a bathtub full of ice. In trying to stay cool, Angela discovers a spicy tea that seems to be working, but it has unexpected romantic consequences.”

So is this episode a guarantee that we are going to see the fall season end on a happy note? Hardly, given that there are still potentially many other sad storylines that we are going to see pick up over the course of the rest of the year.Some of these will test the characters in ways that they haven’t been before, and one of the first orders of business for us right now is going to be trying to do our best to prepare ourselves for that. The second half of this season is still going to be a ways away from airing, sadly.
