agreed.. give Traci a break already!

"I'm going to be reminded that his death meant something and that he died for something important."

She's so strong though!

^Ugh, that's painful but yeah, it was beautiful said.

Add me, please?!

a fine mess

^Welcome to the RB board!

It certainly seems that way. At least she's had some success at work with becoming a detective, but her personal life is a train wreck.

a fine mess

Definitely true Chris. She's grown a lot as an officer and within Division 15. At least it's just her personal life that's a bit more complicated. But she's a great mom!

IndigoEyes

yeah.. She's a good detective...except she didnt figure out what honey was up to

break the window

Dirty cops are usually very good about covering up their tracks to keep their real agenda hidden

a fine mess

Also she may have been clouded (since they're in love) and didn't think to suspect he would do such a thing. I don't know how Traci can give her heart again to another man. If she will be able to. It was not easy to give to Steve in the beginning.

Chris

Isn't always hardest to acknowledge faults in somebody you love?

Totally agree with Cece that Tracey will be really reluctant to start another relationship.

IndigoEyes

Yeah. I guess that's true. .we always wanna give them the benefit of the doubt. Cops are trained to be observant and suspicious but it has to be tougher to think that about another Cop. And when you work worth one who u love and respect ..ouch.

I always wonder about dirty cops if they're all dirty or, like they were accusing Oliver of...gone bad when they were desperate and called in favors and in result had to cash in those favors. But Steve seems pretty confident about his life with Traci and her son admit all of this criminal activity

Chris

I imagine it's a combination of things. Sometimes a matter of opportunity when you need some extra cash, other times being blackmailed about something you've done in the past.

As to Tracey suspecting anything of Steve ... his family background would make him seem above suspicion. Which made him the perfect guy to have on the take.

IndigoEyes

yeah.. it's just too bad that Traci had to get hurt again

break the window

It's like she's always the set up for something to go wrong
