Last season was quite a dramatic one and I was happy to see the show come back to see where all of the characters are. It was a good return but it felt quite off to me because I haven't seen these characters in some time. Regina King playing Lydia coming back to the show seems to have gone through the most because now with a child she seems to be struggling more at work and being a working mom. Her story about the possible rape was the most interesting because it is quite a dramatic and serious story to tell. I did feel for her because of her struggles which is why she is my favourite character on the show. Michael Cudlitz playing John made a good return especially since his struggles with his partner last year (Lucy Liu). His new partner and him have tension especially since most of their day involved nothing special going from movie being filmed and dealing with young kids on bikes. Ben (Ben McKenzie) and Sammy (Shawn Hatosy) were so great as new partners last year and this season they get off to a ruff start as Ben since graduating seems quite stricter on being an officer compared to Sammy who seems to care about the people of L.A. more. Their scenes were great and with the show ending of their characters in such different positions it was great. The episode was less memorable but glad to have the show back and sees where it will go.

EPISODE GRADE: C+ (MVP: Michael Cudlitz)
