Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMcGee, when questioning Kat, produces what is depicted as a rare 1909 T206 series baseball card for Sherwood "Sherry" Magee (1884-1929) that has his last name misspelled as "Magie". This error was quickly corrected, thus making it very rare. In 2018, this card which was graded "8/10" sold at auction for $660,000.
- GoofsIn the period of a few days, based on Knight saying she needs a date for her cousin's wedding, the team, together or individually, travels back and forth several times to Philadelphia to work on the case. Not much time appears to pass getting from one place to the other.

The growth of Alden Parker's character (well-done)
Gary Cole's acting skills are steadily being stretched; this trip down Parker's Memory Lane - back to a mis-spent youth in Philadelphia.
Excellent plotting, linking dead sailor to wildlife to druggie going straight to inter-agency linkages and a GREAT view of the backstory of a young Alden Parker. His grown-up schooldays friend was well-played by an actor whom I didn't recognise.
This was a pleasure to watch.
One minor defect - they seem to have time travel to get (repeatedly) to and from Philadelphia (a one-way distance of 152 miles per Google). This minor w.t.f. Really doesn't detract from the excellent storyline about friendship and redemption.
