Thought provoking, tough to watch, understand why it was delayed in May.

Totally understand why the producers delayed it when it was scheduled to air on the night of the Uvaldev shootings. It is important we see possible reasons for these kind of horrific episodes in our lives. Especially appreciated Tyler's angst and how he was trying to help his friend. And he just couldn't believe how his friend could have gone where he did.

Interesting to see an episode without Isabella in it.

I always love when the support characters are more involved too. Showing different aspects of what they can do.

The dynamic in Jubal's family is essential to this episode too. Loved the final ending scene.

No Wonder Why This Was Delayed

Warning: Spoilers
Over in back in May as you all know due to the Texas school shooting that killed 24, nineteen that were kids on it there. And it hits close to home there over for Jubal and his son.

Poor son there as Tyler very much can't catch a break. Due to mental issues and his health nearly losing his life to cancer/leukemia there. Plus Jubal's divorce and missing his own son's birthday last episode due over to a case there.

But that Tyler is very much misguided and that this so called "friend" is not really and how that he is a danger to the community, his school, and himself most of all. And that Jubal it does hit home.

It hits home to all that are parents.

Missing Missy

As the trivia says, the scheduled episode was not shown.

Instead, they repeated episode 12, 'Under Pressure'.

All that did is to highlight how much this show needs Missy Peregrym.

Hopefully she will be back in season 5.

I'm glad we finally..

Got to see this episode. While finding it selfishly frustrating to not get to see the planned season finale, I agree with another reviewer that it was properly pushed back given the events that took place on the day this episode was set to air. I'm going to say something controversial here.. as a society I think we become desensitized to these types of things seeing them on TV shows or not treating everyone of the real life instances with as much shock as Columbine received. On one hand, I can understand not wanting to give real love kids the impression of notoriety if they go the route the kids did in this episode but on the other hand, I can't imagine the fear our youth struggles with knowing the next school on the news could be theirs. As a student, I'm not old enough to a part of the generation that practiced drills for possible bombings during wartime. The only drills I had to participate in were fire or tornadoes and that was scary enough then. To know these kids actively practice what moves to make if they find themselves in a shooter situation, is gut wrenching and heart breaking. Watching the kids in this episode run to those buses as if their lives depended on it because you know, it did and seeing the terror on some of the actors faces, even knowing they were acting, smacked me so hard across the face. The fact a student needs to be thinking about their escape route at any given moment of their day and depending on where they could randomly find themselves is just not okay. I don't necessarily care that a lot of shows represent the aggressors as gamers a large percentage of the time but it is what it is. I commend the show for choosing to wait and I hope these shows with this particular storyline become obsolete because we find an answer to a problem that's been ongoing and devastating for far too many years now.

Seriously?
CKM227 October 2022
You would think a show supposedly about FBI agents wouldn't use a completely made up term "assault rifle". I would certainly hope real FBI agents are smart enough to know that AR doesn't stand for assault rifle, then again these days most of our FBI agents seem to be worthless so they probably don't either. If this show reflected our actual FBI agents they'd be running around working on attacking the political opponents of Biden and every episode would be a crime and then an admission by the FBI that the person was on their radar but they did nothing to prevent the crime.

The show is definitely starting to fall off, especially with Missy Peregrym gone. Her absence definitely leaves a large hole.
