I liked this episode, I felt so bad for Burgess after her friend died, so glad to see Antonio back I forget what the B plot was though

I was so tired when I watched this episode that I actually dozed off once.

That said, Burgess rocked the episode. She never gave up in her belief in the officer she trained. Loved that she confronted the cop who harassed him (forget his name) and I think he felt her wrath and maybe will watch his ass. Nobody likes a bully.

If I get a chance to re-watch, I'll definitely come back with more comments.

I was so glad that Burgess was right about him. It really sad that he didn't see any other way of handling it other than taking his own life.

I loved that Antonio backed her up.

When she confronted the partner, it reminded me of something Lindsay might have done. It is great to see how much she has grown into the job.

It was a bonus that this episode was on my birthday too.

Ally, you're absolutely right about the fact Lindsey would have done the same. She always stood up for the truth. I see Burgess gaining some of those traits but her actions will always be tempered by her good heart. Not a bad thing in a cop.

Great episode. Burgess is really stepping up! I’m glad. She was always a great cop.

Sad that that cop killed himself when he was really trying to help. Nice that Burgess never gave up her faith in him.

Is it just me or we have seen much of Al lately?

It's a little annoying, to me anyway, that Burgess seems willing to have faith in everyone else & fight for them, except Ruzek......she blew him off without a backwards glance.

No, you're not the only who's noticing that. After all, Ruzek didn't do anything to warrant Burgess' treatment of him. I get that she wants to focus on her career but she doesn't have to kick him to the floor while doing so.

Hope this changes.
