Great episode with all ingredients I love Major Crimes for: From witty, self-deprecating humor over forward motion for at least some of the character stories, to carefully handled emotional scenes. – To top it all: I learned some things about “the business” I never wanted to know… –
As for the subplots: Maybe the storyline with Rusty and his biological mother has finally come to a resolution. It might be good to close that chapter by now. Elsewhere, Rusty’s character development has taken a huge step further, which is great. We have witnessed this development for almost five years and through some stormy weathers and it’s still compelling. – Andy was allowed to show that at times he is able to act like a mature adult. (Sometimes I wonder what Sharon can possibly see in him since she has to constantly put up with the more infantile traits of his character. She obviously feels the need to parent him on a daily basis). – And there was a small step forward for Buzz as well. Finally! I actually appreciated the apparantly slightly reduced screen time for him. To me he is one of the least interesting characters of the show.
I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this episode and hope there is a lot more where it came from!!!!!
