This episode was so much better great action!

Loved that the whole team was involved to find the bank robbers!

Tani I love her nice she helped Junior this time poor Junior al he wanted was to help Layla and her boyfriend sadly he had no choice then to kill Tory. Felt bad for him when Layla slapped him.

I was happy that Junior told Steve everything Steve telling Junior "we all have our blindspots. The trick is to identify them and don't let them cloud your decision making process" Makes me wonder if Steve still is thinking of Greer.

Loved Danny sneaky comment to Steve when Steve said where he would put the money
Danny Somewhere your dog won't dig it up

Danny never forget something right!!

Case of the week was great and Alex did a wonderful job directing this episode!

not sure about the no choice thing. why didn't he shoot him somewhere else? tory wasn't about to kill junior, he wanted to kill himself. I think there was enough time for junior to aim at a different body part. ( I know it was in the script

)

I wasn't thinking about greer. I thought about the ep where catherine got kidnapped and what steve did to get her back. maybe he identified his blindspot, but it still clouds his vision when it comes to the ones he cares about.
(Like a friend of mine once said (about drinking): "I know my limitations, I just don't pay attention to them.")

loved the comment too. wished we had some more mcdanno scenes though.

You are 100% right Junior could have shoot him somewhere else. I hope this Will not haunt Junior because now a little boy has to grow up without his father.

WoW I haven’t think of that it is possible Steve did a lot that wrong things that day because all hè could think of was Catherine.

Alex did a awesome job with this episode. Actually felt sorry for Jr. and I'm so glad he shut Tani up about not telling Steve her and Adam about the gun and they still hadn't and so glad JR did went to Steve it show how loyal JR is to Steve. But where was Steve,Danny at when JR went to the park

i'd think steve was thinking about greer because he told catherine that he had a softspot for greer and he was blinded by that to see what kind of person she was.

Yeah as really Junior and Tani are shippers no matter what. And that glad she helped him out.

Junior really did not want to kill Tory knowing he had Junior's former girlfriend and Tory a baby but had no choice. As he could had aimed him in his leg or arm to get the gun out of his hand. As a Navy SEAL.

Alex did a good job. And really if there is another season, he could direct again.

Danny does not miss details indeed. Very smart.
